Physical interactions of LAMA3

 

Regulatory relationships of LAMA3

  • In this paper, we show evidence that this repression of the lama3 gene is relieved by exogenous and UV-induced USF-1 through its interaction with a non-canonical E-box site [20].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of LAMA3

  • This strategy, based on PCR amplification of genomic sequences, followed by heteroduplex scanning and automated nucleotide sequencing, was used for successful mutation screening in a family with the lethal (Herlitz) type of JEB, and two novel LAMA3 mutations were identified in the proband [26].
  • In contrast, with immunoprecipitation of either culture medium or cell lysate from normal keratinocytes, the patient's serum clearly reacted with the protein epiligrin, a laminin isoform present in the lamina lucida of the human epidermal basement membrane zone [27].
  • BM 600/nicein, epiligrin and kalinin were not detected after treatment with trypsin [28].
  • Densitometry was performed on the nuclear area of all photographs including the LOCS III standards, using a photometrically corrected photocell [29].
  • Significant cataract progression was defined as either cataract extraction in the surgical eye or a greater than a 0.9 LOCS III unit difference in lens opacity between the surgical and nonsurgical eye [30].
