laminin

laminin
Link proteins of basal lamina; consist of an A chain (400 kD) and two B chains (200 kD). Each subunit contains at least 12 repeats of the EGF-like domain. The first laminin studied was from mouse EHS cells, but it is now becoming clear that different forms of laminin occur. In laminin from placenta the A chain is replaced with merosin, in laminin found near the neuromuscular junction the B1 chain is replaced by s-laminin (synapse laminin). Laminin induces adhesion and spreading of many cell types and promotes the outgrowth of neurites in culture.
