## Abstract Lamininβ5 (LN5), which regulates both cell adhesion and cell migration, undergoes specific extracellular proteolytic processing at an aminoβterminal region of the Ξ³2 chain as well as at a carboxylβterminal region of the Ξ±3 chain. To clarify the biological effect of the Ξ³2 chain processi
Studies from several laboratories have suggested that laminin contains at least two domains that selectively mediate cell type-specific behavior. In this study, two proteolytic fragments of laminin are evaluated for their ability to interact with three different populations of embryonic chicken cell
The laminins are a family of glycoproteins that provide an integral part of the structural scaffolding of basement membranes in almost every animal tissue. Each laminin is a heterotrimer assembled from β£, β€, and β₯ chain subunits, secreted and incorporated into cell-associated extracellular matrices.
Fungi are of fundamental importance for plant and microbial nutrition with primary roles in decomposition and nutrient recycling. They also have great potential for use in areas of biotechnology such as bioremediation of organic and inorganic pollutants and biocontrol of plant pathogens. In all thes
