Structure and biological activity of basement membrane proteins

Open access
TIMPL, Rupert·1989·European Journal of Biochemistry

Abstract

Collagen type IV, laminin, heparan sulfate proteoglycans, nidogen (entactin) and BM‐40 (osteonectin, SPARC) represent major structural proteins of basement membranes. They are well‐characterized in their domain structures, amino acid sequences and potentials for molecular interactions. Such interactions include self‐assembly processes and heterotypic binding between individual constituents, as well as binding of calcium (laminin. BM‐40) and are likely to be used for basement membrane assembly. Laminin, collagen IV and nidogen also possess several cell‐binding sites which interact with distinct cellular receptors. Some evidence exists that those interactions are involved in the control of cell behaviour. These observations have provided a more defined understanding of basement membrane function and the definition of new research goals in the future.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
