## Abstract The 37‐kd laminin receptor precursor (LR) was first identified as a 67‐kd protein that binds laminin with high affinity. We have recently isolated the __Xenopus laevis__ LR as an in vitro substrate of matrix metalloproteinase stromelysin‐3 (ST3), which is highly upregulated during intes
