Fibronectin Fragment CH296

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Pharmacologic Substance

**Definition:** A recombinant peptide fragment containing adhesion domains of fibronectin. Fibronectin is high molecular weight glycoprotein, and has important roles in cell adhesion, morphology, and surface architecture. Fibronectin fragment CH-296 is used in retroviral-based gene transfer procedures, which utilizes adhesive property of fibronectin to bring virions to target cells and to facilitate co-localization, thereby increasing gene transfer efficiency.

**Synonyms:** - CH-296 Fibronectin - CH-296 Fibronectin Fragment - Retronectin
