The Short Arm of the Laminin γ2 Chain Plays a Pivotal Role in the Incorporation of Laminin 5 into the Extracellular Matrix and in Cell Adhesion

Laminin 5 is a basement membrane component that actively promotes adhesion and migration of epithelial cells. Laminin 5 undergoes extracellular proteolysis of the γ2 chain that removes the NH(2)-terminal short arm of the polypeptide and reduces the size of laminin 5 from 440 to 400 kD. The functiona...
