Laminins are major proteins in the basal lamina (one of the layers of the basement membrane) a protein network foundation for most cells and organs. The laminins are an important and biologically active part of the basal lamina influencing cell differentiation migration and adhesion as well as phenotype and survival.Laminins are trimeric proteins that contain an α-chain a β-chain and a γ-chain found in five four and three genetic variants respectively.
