Laminin α-5 Antibody (4B12) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Laminin α-5 protein of human origin by immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-Laminin α-5 antibody (4B12) is available as a non-conjugated format, playing a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of basement membranes, essential components of the extracellular matrix. These basement membranes provide structural support to tissues and are involved in various cellular processes, including cell adhesion, differentiation, and migration. Laminin α-5 (4B12) monoclonal antibody recognizes a heterotrimer composed of α, β, and γ chains, which allows interaction with other matrix components and cell surface receptors, facilitating the assembly of the extracellular matrix. Proper functioning of Laminin α-5 is vital for tissue integrity and repair, as Laminin α-5 influences cellular behavior and tissue architecture. Laminin α-5 interacts with specific proteins such as integrins and dystroglycan, which are critical for cellular signaling and communication. The human Laminin α-5 gene is located on chromosome 20q13.33, highlighting genetic significance in health and disease.
