== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/LAMA1_MOUSE LAMA1_MOUSE] Binding to cells via a high affinity receptor, laminin is thought to mediate the attachment, migration and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Laminin polymerization is the major step in basement membranes assembly. Its failures cause laminin N-terminal domain lamininopathies including Pierson syndrome. We have employed cryo-electron microscopy to determine a 3.7 A structure of the trimeric laminin polymer node containing alpha1, beta1 and gamma1 subunits. The structure reveals the molecular basis of calcium-dependent formation of laminin lattice, and provides insights into polymerization defects manifesting in human disease.
