Basement membranes are continuous sheets of specialized
extracellular matrix that are found at the base of all
lumen-lining epithelial and endothelial cells. They are
composed of specialized basement membrane proteins,
including collagen IV (the primary structural element of the
basement membrane), laminin I, heparin sulfate proteoglycan,
and entactin.
To better support your research goals, we now provide a variety of
BME products for you to choose from! Choose the basement membrane
extract qualified for your research!
