Type IV collagen, a network-forming n type,14 and laminins are the most abundant building blocks of the basement membrane.14-17 Collagen can take part in signal transduction via transmembrane receptors, such as integrins.16,18 Moreover, it was shown that the non-collagenous (NC1) domain of collagen takes part in the regulation of adhesion, proliferation and apoptosis in various cell types via their interactions with integrins, such as a6b1.
