Laminin, a major structural component of basement membranes, is a 900 kD glycoprotein composed of three polypeptide chains with a multidomain structure. Laminin has many varied funcitons that are mediated by binding to various components of the basement membrane (for example, collagen IV and heparan sulphate proteoglycan) and to cell surface receptors. Corning® BioCoat® Laminin flasks, coated with mouse laminin, are manufactured in a highly controlled environment and rigorously tested to assure product consistency and performance.

Applications include promotion of cell attachment and spreading, induction of cell differentiation and neurite outgrowth, studies of effects of laminin on cell behaviour, and cell adhesion assays.
