Abstract excerpt
Hsp47 is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident molecular chaperone that is specific for collagen. In Hsp47(-/-) mouse embryos at 9.5 days postcoitus (dpc), immunostaining indicated the absence of type IV collagen, but not of laminin and nidogen-1, in the basement membrane (BM). Electron immunomi...
