PROTEIN
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a 19 amino acids signal peptide (1.8 kDa)
  • four laminin A/neurexin/sex hormone-binding (LNS) globular domains separated by multiple EGF-like motifs within the N terminal short arm allowing the self assembly of chains through interactions of the most terminal globular domain (VI), and a long arm composed of heptad repeats typical of an cell alpha helical coiled-coil protein
  • secondary structure three non identical chains A, B1, B2 (alpha, beta, gamma)
    conjugated GlycoP
    mono polymer heteromer , trimer
    isoforms Precursor a 1568 amino acids mature peptide (130.3 kDa)
    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to rattus Lamc3 (76.09 pc)
    homolog to murine Lamc3 (75.53 pc)

    text
  • extracellular matrix
  • apical membrane
  • basic FUNCTION
  • involved in development and stabilization of epithelial structures
  • unable to bind to integrins due to the absence of the glutamic acid residue conserved in the C-terminal regions of the gamma1 and gamma2 chains
  • extracellular cell adhesion molecule localizing to basement membranes and essential for early embryonic development
  • role for LAMC3 in extracellular matrix organization of the somatodendritic compartment
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, differentiation
