• Different alpha, beta and gamma chain isomers combine to give rise to different heterotrimeric laminin isoforms which are designated by Arabic numerals in the order of their discovery, i.e. alpha1beta1gamma1 heterotrimer is laminin 1. (wikipedia.org)
  • In metabolic tissues such as the pancreas, adipose, muscle, and liver, laminin isoforms are expressed in discrete temporal and spatial patterns suggesting that certain isoforms may support the development and function of particular metabolic cell types. (bvsalud.org)
  • This review focuses on the research to date detailing the expression of laminin isoforms, their potential function, as well as known pathways involved in laminin signaling in metabolic tissues. (bvsalud.org)
  • Laminin subunit gamma-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LAMC2 gene. (wikipedia.org)
  • Laminin subunit beta 1 (LAMB1) is involved in attachment, migration, and organization during development, and its elevated expression has been associated with several cancers. (bvsalud.org)
  • We will also discuss the current biomedical therapies involving laminins in these tissues in addition to prospective applications, with the goal being to encourage future investigation of laminins in the context of metabolic disease. (bvsalud.org)
  • Upon genuine HDR, we exploited the in vitro adhesion advantage of laminin 332 production to positively select LAMB3-expressing keratinocytes. (unimore.it)
  • This study provides evidence for efficient CRISPR/Cas9-mediated in situ restoration of LAMB3 expression, paving the way for ex vivo clinical application of this strategy to laminin 332 deficiency. (unimore.it)
  • HDR and restored laminin 332 expression were evaluated at single-cell level. (unimore.it)
  • The roles and possible interactions of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway, FGF signaling, and lama5 in the branching process were investigated by morphogenesis assays and gene expression patterns. (bvsalud.org)
  • Additionally, we showed that c-Jun directly binds to the LAMB1 promoter as a transcription factor and regulates its gene expression via the ERK pathway in gastric cancer cells. (bvsalud.org)
  • Laminins are composed of 3 non identical chains: laminin alpha, beta and gamma (formerly A, B1, and B2, respectively) and they form a cruciform structure consisting of 3 short arms, each formed by a different chain, and a long arm composed of all 3 chains. (wikipedia.org)
  • Laminins are heterotrimeric ECM proteins composed of α, β, and γ chains. (nih.gov)
  • Laminins are composed of 3 non identical chains: laminin alpha, beta and gamma (formerly A, B1, and B2, respectively) and they form a cruciform structure consisting of 3 short arms, each formed by a different chain, and a long arm composed of all 3 chains. (wikipedia.org)
  • The gamma 2 chain together with alpha 3 and beta 3 chains constitute laminin 5 (earlier known as kalinin), which is an integral part of the anchoring filaments that connect epithelial cells to the underlying basement membrane. (wikipedia.org)
