General annotation (Comments)

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.

Subunit structure

Laminin is a complex glycoprotein, consisting of three different polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma), which are bound to each other by disulfide bonds into a cross-shaped molecule comprising one long and three short arms with globules at each end. Alpha-4 is a subunit of laminin-8 (laminin-411), laminin-9 (laminin-421) and laminin-14 (laminin-423).

Subcellular location

Secreted › extracellular space › extracellular matrix › basement membrane. Note: Major component.

Tissue specificity

Strongly expressed in peripheral nerves, cardiac muscle, fat, dermis, lung stroma, aortic endothelium, endocardium and endothelium of blood vessels in skin and brain.

Domain

The alpha-helical domains I and II are thought to interact with other laminin chains to form a coiled coil structure.

Domain G is globular.

Sequence similarities

Contains 4 laminin EGF-like domains.

Contains 5 laminin G-like domains.
