Vitronectin, also known as serum spreading factor, a 75kD abundant secreted protein found in blood plasma and the extracellular matrix (ECM), involved in cell adhesion, and implicated in signal transduction and cell migration (metastasis) of cancer cells.
Vitronectin acts as a regulator of plasminogen activated proteolysis, by binding via its N-terminal somatomedin B domain to plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), thereby stabilizing it.
Vitronectin also uses this N-terminal domain to interact with urokinase receptor, another factor in the plasminogen activation system.
In addition, vitronectin contains an RGD (Arginine-Glycine-Aspartic acid) sequence, which acts as a binding site for membrane-bound integrins.
