Laminin (LM), a major component of basement membranes, is a multifunctional glycoprotein that is used as a substrate to culture and maintain differentiated function of a wide variety of cells. Laminin has been shown in culture to stimulate neurite outgrowth, promote cell attachment, chemotaxis, cell differentiation, and neuronal survival. Applications include: Promotion of cell attachment and spreadingInduction of cell differentiation and neurite outgrowth Increases proliferation of myoblasts Studies of effects of laminin on cell behavior Cell adhesion assays Source: Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) mouse tumor Quality Control Tested for ability to initiate differentiation (neurite outgrowth) of NG-108 rat glioma/mouse neuroblastoma cells Tested and found negative for bacteria and fungiLaminin purity >90% by SDS-PAGE (contains entactin) Storage: 2°C to 8°C. Do not freeze.
