Correct answer: A. Laminin
- A. Laminin
- B. Fibronectin
- C. E - Cadherins
- D. Tenascin
Explanation
Laminin is a major basement-membrane glycoprotein with domains that bind extracellular-matrix components and cell-surface receptors such as integrins. Fibronectin is also an adhesion glycoprotein, but it is not the characteristic abundant basement-membrane protein asked for here.
