Abstract excerpt
In Drosophila, four genes encode for laminin subunits and the formation of two laminin heterotrimers has been postulated. We report the identification of mutations in the Drosophila LamininB2 (LanB2) gene that encodes for the only laminin γ subunit and is found in both heterotrimers. We describe their effects on embryogenesis, in particular the differentiation of visceral tissues with respect to the ECM. Analysis...
