Laminin isoforms in endothelial and perivascular basement membranes

Yuosif L., Russo J.D., Sorokin L.Cell Adh Migr., 2013

α4 and α5 chain laminins are the predominant isoforms in the basal lamina of vascular endothelial cells. While the α4 chain is expressed ubiquitously throughout different developmental stages, the prominent expression of α5 chain appears postnatally and its distribution varies with vessel type.
