Laminin

Proteins

Basement membrane protein that supports cell adhesion and tissue organization

Overview

Laminin is a major component of the basement membrane, a specialized extracellular matrix structure that separates the epidermis from the dermis. It plays crucial roles in cell adhesion, migration, and differentiation while supporting tissue organization and integrity. Laminin is essential for maintaining proper skin architecture.
