Laminin-1 is a major multifunctional glycoprotein that forms an integral part of the scaffolding network of basement membranes, and is the earliest synthesized component during embryogenesis. This protein (alpha1beta1gamma1) plays an important role in basement membrane assembly and epiblast differentiation during embryonic development.
