Abstract excerpt
Laminin is a multifunctional heterotrimeric protein present in extracellular matrix where it regulates processes that compose tissue architecture including cell differentiation. Laminin gamma1 is the most widely expressed laminin chain and its absence causes early lethality in mouse embryos. Laminin gamma1 chain gene (LAMC1) promoter contains several GC/GT-rich motifs including the bcn-1 element. Using the bcn-1...
