Certificate of Analysis Vitronectin, Human: Description: Human Vitronectin is a major plasma glycoprotein that exhibits multiple activities and functions as a cell adhesion molecule and regulator of coagulation. It contains the amino acid structural motif, Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD), which is involved in cell attachment. Human Vitronectin has a mass of 75kDa and circulates as a single-chain moiety of 75kDa and a two-chain moiety of 65kDa and 10kDa. Human Vitronectin is purified from human plasma.
Vitronectin belongs to the group of structurally and functionally homologous adhesive proteins (fibrinogen, fibronectin, Von Willebrand factor), which interact with platelets and the vessel wall in the early stages of blood clotting. When coated onsurfaces, very low concentrations of Vitronectin promote endothelial cell attachment and induce spreading and migration ofcells in a time- and concentration-dependent fashion (1). Concentration: 2mg/ml. Source: Human Vitronectin is purified from human plasma. Storage Buffer: Human Vitronectin is supplied in Dulbecco’s PBS (calcium- and magnesium-free) containing 175mM ammonium sulfate. Storage Conditions: See the product information label for storage recommendations. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles and exposure to frequent temperature changes. These fluctuations can greatly alter product stability. Human Vitronectin can be further diluted in DPBS but should not be stored as a dilute solution. See the expiration date on the product information label. Promega Corporation Quality Control Assays

Biological Activity: When coated onto tissue culture plastic, Human Vitronectin promotes one half maximal attachment of
BALB/3T3 cells in serum-free medium at <0.1µg/cm2. Maximum attachment should occur at approximately 0.2µg/cm2. Virus Contamination: Human Vitronectin is purified from human plasma that has been tested by the American Red Cross
and found to be nonreactive for HIV-1 and Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) antibody and antigen, Hepatitis Bsurface antigen (HBsAg) and antibodies to Hepatitis C. These results are obtained using standard serologic tests for detec-tion of antibodies and viral antigens in human blood and tissues. Caution: These results are subject to the limitations of the
