In addition to its potential use as a treatment for a variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders, VTN has also been shown to have potential applications in a number of other fields, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and autoimmune disorders.

In conclusion, VTN is a protein that is expressed in various tissues throughout the body, and is involved in a number of important cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and signaling. As a result, VTN has emerged as a promising drug target for a range of therapeutic applications. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of VTN in disease, and to develop safe and effective treatments.

Protein Name: Vitronectin

Functions: Vitronectin is a cell adhesion and spreading factor found in serum and tissues. Vitronectin interact with glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans. Is recognized by certain members of the integrin family and serves as a cell-to-substrate adhesion molecule. Inhibitor of the membrane-damaging effect of the terminal cytolytic complement pathway
