• 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.

• Tissue specificity

  Expressed in heart, lung, kidney, skeletal muscle, pancreas, retina and placenta. Little or no expression in brain and liver.

• Sequence similarities

  Contains 22 laminin EGF-like domains.
  Contains 5 laminin G-like domains.
  Contains 1 laminin IV type A domain.
  Contains 1 laminin N-terminal domain.

• Domain

  Domain G is globular and is part of the major cell-binding site located in the long arm of the laminin heterotrimer.

• Cellular localization

  Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix, basement membrane. Major component.
