Details for messenger / hormone: laminin alpha-2 chain

EndoNet ID: ENH00520

To link to the content of EndoNet use the EndoNet ID that is given on the detail pages in the format ENX0000, where X is a place holder for the type of the component (e. g. R for receptor or C for anatomical structure).
As URL for the linking append this ID to the detail page for this type of component.
For an hormone that would be:

General information

  • The alpha-2 chain is a subunit of laminin-2 (merosin) and laminin-4 (S-merosin). [1]
  • Laminin alpha-2 is expressed in developing skeletal muscle and peripheral nerve along with the alpha-4 and alpha-5 chains. It participates in the development of the neuromuscular endplate. [2]
