Developmental regulation of basement membrane deposition.
The expression and localisation of the basement membrane glycoprotein laminin in tissues are two factors that determine to what extent it can influence cell behaviour during development. In order to begin to unravel the potential functions of laminin in vivo, the mechanisms regulating its expression, structure and stabilization in the basement membranes of developing tissues are discussed.
