High impact information on Lamc2

  • BACKGROUND: Laminin gamma2 (Lamc2), one of the polypeptides in laminin-332 (laminin-5), is prominent in the basement membrane of alveolar walls and airways of developing and adult lung [1].
  • Branching morphogenesis by lung bud culture was similar in Lamc2-/- and littermate control lungs [1].
 

Other interactions of Lamc2

  • To investigate the mechanism of two forms of messages (5.1 and 2.4 kb) in mouse Lamc2, a gene encoding for the gamma2 chain of epithelial cell-specific laminin 5, we analyzed approximately 40 kb of genomic DNA containing the sequences from the first intron to the 23rd exon to the 3' untranscribed region [2].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Lamc2

  • Immunofluorescence analysis associated the condition to the absent expression of the gamma2 chain of laminin 5 and designated Lamc2 as the candidate gene [3].
  • METHODS: Examination of lung development in Lamc2-/- mice through 1-2 days postnatal was accomplished by morphometric analysis, lung bud culture, electron microscopy, immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence staining [1].
