Abstract excerpt
Laminins are heterotrimeric (alpha/beta/gamma) glycoproteins that form a major polymer within basement membranes. Different alpha, beta and gamma subunits can assemble into various laminin isoforms that have different, but often overlapping, distributions and functions. In this study, we examine the contributions of the laminin alpha subunits to the development of C. elegans. There are two alpha, one beta and one...
