Glycosylation and ligand-binding activities of rat plasma fibronectin during liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy.

Fibronectin (FN) is a multifunctional glycoprotein present in the extracellular matrix (ECM) and plasma. We previously reported that the glycosylation and ligand-binding of vitronectin (VN) change markedly after partial hepatectomy (PH). Here we show the changes of FN during liver regeneration.
