Abstract

No review of fetuin could possibly avoid listing the claimed, counterclaimed and reclaimed possible functions of fetuin. Since its discovery just 50 years ago,1 a whole plethora of papers claiming specific functions for fetuin has appeared in the literature. There have been several excellent reviews on fetuin, especially in tissue culture applications (see refs. 2 and 3 for most recent and comprehensive), so we will not dwell on this aspect of the field for too long.
