Laminin, a major component of basement membranes, is well known in its classical heterotrimeric form (B1-A-B2) to regulate diverse biological functions, including cell polarization and differentiation. However, the role of merosin, a laminin-like molecule in which an M chain is substituted for its homologous A chain, remains largely unknown.
