Abstract excerpt
In epidermal wounds, precursor laminin 5 (alpha3beta3gamma2) is deposited in the provisional basement membrane (PBM) before other BM components. Precursor laminin 5 contains G4/5 globular domains at the carboxyl terminus of the alpha3 chain. Here, the function of G4/5 was evaluated in deposition of laminin 5. Soluble laminin 5, secreted by keratinocytes in culture, is cleaved by an endogenous protease releasing...
