A new embryonic extracellular matrix protein has been purified from eggs of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus. The molecule is a 210 kD dimer consisting of two 105 kD subunits that are held together by S-S bridges. In the unfertilized egg, the protein is found within granules uniformly distribute
The Very Late Activation Antigen (VLA) proteins are a family of five related heterodimers, which also are part of the integrin superfamily of cell adhesion molecules. Except for the identification of VLA-5 as a fibronectin receptor structure, the functions of the VLA proteins have remained unclarifi
