Anti-Laminin alpha 5 Antibody, clone 4B12

Laminin alpha 5 (α5) is a member of the laminin family of extracellular matrix glycoproteins. Laminin’s are important in cell migration, differentiation and in tumor cell incursion. Research shows that laminin alpha 5 may be an early marker of sexual differentiation. In rat, the laminin alpha 5 chain seems to halt expression in the basement membrane of Sertoli cells when secretion of AMH begins but expression increases two weeks after birth when AMH secretion stops. Laminin alpha 5 shows up early during lung development in mice. It has also been linked to inflammatory cell chemotaxis and metalloproteinase activity and may play a role in creating and sustaining mucosal patterns of the mouse small intestine.
