Type IV collagen trimer is a major component of basement membranes (BMs). It is composed of polypeptides named a1(IV)-a6(IV) chains. Chains a1,2(IV) are widely expressed in BMs while a3(IV)-a6(IV) are more restricted in human tissues. We have now studied by immunohistochemical means the distribution

During development, the embryonic atrioventricular (AV) endocardial cushions undergo a morphogenic process to form mature valve leaflets and the membranous septa in the heart. Several extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins are expressed in the developing AV endocardial cushions, but it remains to be es
Thymosins p4 and plo are 2 structurally related polypeptides originally defined in the rat immune system. To date, no truly unambiguous functions have been formally ascribed to these small (<4.9 kDa) acidic proteins. Previous research has demonstrated relationships between expression of these genes
To study the expression of the alpha1-alpha6 chains of type IV collagen in the dermoepidermal junction (DEJ) during human foetal skin development, human foetal (10 and 20 weeks of gestation) and adult skin was immunostained with specific monoclonal antibodies to the alpha1-alpha6 chains of type IV c
