General description
Laminins are non-collagenous adhesive glycoproteins[1] with a substantial molecular weight. They are heterotrimeric proteins with three disulfide-linked polypeptides known as the α, β, and γ chains.[2] The multiple polypeptide domains of laminins can bind to multiple cell surface receptors, including several integrin dimers, dystroglycan and syndecans, and other ECM components. This extracellular matrix multidomain trimeric glycoprotein is the main component of basal lamina that supports adhesion, proliferation and differentiation.
Application
Laminin from Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm murine sarcoma basement membrane has been used in:
Laminin supports growth and differentiation of many cell types including epithelial, endothelial, neural, muscle and liver cells. It is recommended for use as a cell culture substratum at 1-2 μg/cm2. The optimal concentration does depend on cell type as well as the application or research objectives.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Laminin proteins are integral components of structural scaffolding in animal tissues. They associate with type IV collagen via entactin and perlecan and bind to cell membranes through integrin receptors, dystroglycan glycoprotein complexes and Lutheran blood group glycoproteins. Laminin has active domains for collagen binding, cell adhesion, heparin binding, and neurite outgrowth fragment.
Components
Laminin is an extracellular matrix multidomain trimeric glycoprotein, and is the main non-collagenous component of basal lamina that supports adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. Laminin is composed of both A, B1 and B2 chains, which are connected by many disulfide bonds. This laminin product was isolated from mouse Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm tumor.
Caution
It is recommended to store this product in working aliquots at -20°C.
Preparation Note
This product is supplied at a concentration of 1 − 2 mg/mL in 50 mM Tris-HCl, with 150 mM NaCl. It is filtered using a 0.2μm filter. Thaw this solution slowly before use at 2-8°C to avoid gel formation. For use as a coating, dilute in a balanced salt solution, coat culture surface with a minimal volume and incubate at 37°C for two hours. Wash 3 times with PBS before plating cells. Laminin coatings can be stored for one month at 2-8°C.

How is this laminin concentration determined? (by which method?) I tried to measure the concentration of this product by ELISA, and the results always came out half of what is written on the vial.. what is the protein purity?
1 answer-
Laminin concentration is 1.0 - 2.0 mg protein/ml. The protein content is determined by Lowry method. Please refer the attached document for more details. https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/specification-sheets/131/942/L2020-1MG_________SIGMA____.pdf

What type of laminin is Product L2020?
1 answer-
In the nomenclature system by Burgeson, this is Laminin 1. The laminins were numbered with Arabic numerals in the order discovered. The previous A, B1, and B2 chains, and their isoforms are listed by the Greek letters, for alpha, beta, and gamma, respectively, followed by an Arabic numeral to identify the isoforms. For example, the first laminin identified from the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm tumor (EHS) was designated laminin-1 with the chain composition α-1/β-1/γ-1. The genes for these 3 chains are LAMA1, LAMB1, and LAMC1. Reference: Burgeson, R.E., et al., A new nomenclature for the laminins. Matrix Biol., 14, 209-211 (1994).

Can I coat Laminin, Product L2020, on top of poly-L-lysine for better adherence?
1 answer-
When coating coverslips or slides for use with neural stem cells (neurospheres), the following procedure is recommended. Precoat the coverslips with poly-L-lysine (Product No. P5899) at 100 μg/mL. This is incubated for 30 minutes or more at room temperature. The coverslips are then washed with sterile water and allowed to dry. The poly-lysine coated coverslips can be stored at room temperature until ready to use (up to ~1 month). Coverslips are then coated with 30 - 50 μL of warmed laminin, which is at a concentration of 50 μg/mL. Incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes. Remove the laminin, and wash with DME (50 μL) twice. Cells are then added to the coverslips.
