Journal ArticleDOI
Laminin--a glycoprotein from basement membranes.
Rupert Timpl,H Rohde,Pamela Gehron Robey,Stephen I. Rennard,Jean-Michel Foidart,George R. Martin +5 more
TL;DR: Investigation of a large noncollagenous glycoprotein isolated from a mouse tumor that produces basement membrane shows that it is produced by a variety of cultured cells, suggesting that this protein or an immunologically related protein is a constituent of the basement membranes of these tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and biological activity of basement membrane proteins
TL;DR: Observations of major structural proteins of basement membranes have provided a more defined understanding of basement membrane function and the definition of new research goals in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laminin and Other Basement Membrane Components
George R. Martin,Rupert Timpl +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-modelling framework for designing modular models of BASEMENT MEMBRANE STRUCTURE and some of the models developed so far have shown high levels of similarity to conventional models.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new nomenclature for the laminins.
Robert E. Burgeson,Matthias Chiquet,Rainer Deutzmann,Peter Ekblom,Jürgen Engel,Hynda K. Kleinman,George R. Martin,Guerrino Meneguzzi,Mats Paulsson,Joshua R. Sanes,Rupert Timpl,Karl Tryggvason,Yoshihiko Yamada,Peter D. Yurchenco +13 more
TL;DR: The authors have adopted a new nomenclature for the laminins, in which the previous A, B1 and B2 chains, and their isoforms, are alpha, beta and gamma, followed by an arabic numeral to identify the isoform.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supramolecular assembly of basement membranes
Rupert Timpl,Judith C. Brown +1 more
TL;DR: The formation of basement membranes requires cooperation between different cell types since nidogen, for example, is usually synthesized by cells other than those exposed to the basement membranes.
