Description
Laminin-511 E8 is a recombinant truncated protein expressed in HEK-293 cells and purified via affinity chromatography, comprising the C-terminal domains of α5, β1, and γ1 chains while retaining full integrin-binding capacity.
As a critical component of the basement membrane, Laminin-511 E8 provides structural support for pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) through its cell-binding motifs (e.g., integrin-binding sites), significantly enhancing cell adhesion, proliferation, and undifferentiated state maintenance.
Studies demonstrate that compared to full-length Laminin-511 or traditional matrices (e.g., Matrigel), Laminin-511 E8 exhibits superior cell adhesion efficiency and supports long-term stable passaging (>10 passages) of human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) without karyotypic abnormalities.
Its optimized design enables dual applications in pre-coating and direct suspension mixing methods, offering a defined and efficient solution for organoid culture and directed differentiation research.
