Clone: ELM1
Background: Basement membrane components play an important role in cell adhesion, locomotion, differentiation and embryonic compartmentalization. Although the precise composition and structure of basal laminae varies from tissue to tissue, as well as within the same tissue at different developmental stages, most mature basal laminae contain type IV collagen, laminins, heparan sulphate proteoglycans and entactin (or niDogen). Entactin is a sulphated glycoprotein of approximately 150 kD.
Source: ELM1 is a rat monoclonal IgG2a antibody derived by fusion of X63 Ag 8.653 mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a Fisher rat immunized with a partially purified preparation of laminin from the EHS mouse tumor.
Specificity: ELM1 reacts with entactin.
