Type IV collagen in sponges, the missing link in basement membrane ubiquity*

1 Jan 1996

Abstract excerpt

Basement membrane structures, or their main component, type IV collagen, have been detected in all multicellular animal species, except sponges. We cancel this exception by the demonstration of type IV collagenous sequences in a new marine sponge species by cDNA and genomic DNA studies. One of these sequences is long enough to demonstrate the specific characteristics of type IV collagen chains. The 12 cysteines...
