|
| Function |
Binding to cells via a high affinity receptor, laminin is thought to mediate the attachment, migration and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix, basement membrane. Note=Major component.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in heart, lung, kidney, skeletal muscle, pancreas, retina and placenta. Little or no expression in brain and liver.
|
| Top Pathways |
Focal adhesion, ECM-receptor interaction, Small cell lung cancer, Amoebiasis, Toxoplasmosis
