What is laminin?

Laminin is a Glycoprotein (Oligosaccharide-Protein) which acts as a binding agent between cell walls. They have been dubbed as the "babysitters" of the cells. Laminin influence the cells' differentiation, movement, adhesion, and cell life. Certain muscular dystrophy have been linked to malfunctions in the laminin (Laminin 211 for all you students of chemistry). This is what Laminin looks like: .........................O....................... .........................O....................... ................................................ ............OO===|.|.|===OO......... ........................\|/....................... ................................................ ................................................ ................................................ .........................O....................... As you can see laminin look much like crosses. The three sections which combine are composed of a Beta chain, Alpha chain, and Gamma chain (respectively). Each chain has a double OO shaped Collogen IV base which acts as a "hand" grabbing onto a cellular wall. The three chains coil around each other and end at the bottom Herapan Sulfate Binding Domain (the bottom O).


What is the cross shaped thing in your body?

Laminin protein work together with other proteins, laminin glyoprotein assist in creating structural building blocks for membranes in every human tissue and some animals. They are the glue (connective tissue) inside of us that holds, uniting force, a tie, one cell, to another cell creating a bond. They are the cheer leaders to promote cell adhesion. If we did not have them in our body we would fall apart.

Which functional groups are present on laminin?

Basal Lamina and glycoproteins are two of the functional groups that are present in laminin. Laminin is an active and biologically important part to both groups.
