Laminins are a family of glycoproteins which are ubiquitous components of basement membranes and play key structural and functional roles. Eleven isoforms have been identified to date; each is an alpha beta gamma heterotrimer assembled from a repertoire of five alpha, three beta and two gamma chains.

Studies on human laminin and laminin-collagen complexes
Connective Tissue Research, 1991Intact human laminin and laminin type IV collagen complexes were extracted from term placental membranes and their structures were examined by electroimmunoblot and by rotary shadowing electron microscopy. Rotary shadowing electron microscopy revealed a structure of human laminin which is essentially similar to the cruciform structure of the mouse ...

Laminin distribution and autoantibodies to laminin in dilated cardiomyopathy and myocarditis
American Heart Journal, 1989With the use of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique and indirect immunofluorescence, we determined the frequency of antibodies to laminin (a noncollagenous protein of basement membrane) and their influence on endomyocardial laminin distribution in 132 patients suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy and myocarditis.

Functional Diversity of Laminins
Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 2012Laminins are a large family of conserved, multidomain trimeric basement membrane proteins that contribute to the structure of extracellular matrix and influence the behavior of associated cells, such as adhesion, differentiation, migration, phenotype stability, and resistance to anoikis.

AbstractCells express many proteins that bind to laminin, the major adhesive component of basement membranes. Some of these, specifically integrins, function as transmembrane receptors that ‘signal’ the presence of laminin on the cell surface to the cytoplasm.

Biological activities of laminin
Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, 1985AbstractLaminin is a multifunctional protein with diverse biological activities. Like fibronectin, it can influence cell adhesion, growth, morphology, differentiation, migration, and agglutination as well as the assembly of the extracellular matrix.

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1993
During the preceding year significant progress has been made in our understanding of laminin structure and expression. Highlights include the identification of new subunit chains and molecular isoforms as well as new information on tissue-specific gene expression, laminin self-assembly and interactions with other matrix components.

Integrins as receptors for laminins
Microscopy Research and Technique, 2000Laminins are a family of trimeric glycoproteins present in the extracellular matrix and the major constituents of basement membranes. Integrins are alpha beta transmembrane receptors that play critical roles in both cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesion.

Laminins and their receptors in the CNS
Biological Reviews, 2018ABSTRACTLaminin, an extracellular matrix protein, is widely expressed in the central nervous system (CNS). By interacting with integrin and non‐integrin receptors, laminin exerts a large variety of important functions in the CNS in both physiological and pathological conditions.

A new nomenclature for the laminins
Matrix Biology, 1994The authors have adopted a new nomenclature for the laminins. They are numbered with arabic numerals in the order discovered. The previous A, B1 and B2 chains, and their isoforms, are alpha, beta and gamma, respectively, followed by an arabic numeral to identify the isoform. For example, the first laminin identified from the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm tumor
