2. Figure 1
Schematic drawing of a nephron and an associated collecting duct, with the components of the various basement membranes and of the mesangial matrix listed. Components in brackets were not observed in all species tested, and those in lower case or small font were observed only at low levels. As discussed in the text, laminin trimers are predicted based on immunohistochemical colocalization and thus could be incorrect. However, they still correctly describe which individual chains are present. Abbreviations are: Lam, laminin; Col, collagen; A, agrin; P, perlecan; B, bamacan; GBM, glomerular basement membrane; MM, mesangial matrix; BC, Bowman's capsule; PT, proximal tubule; LH, loop of Henle; DT, distal tubule; CD, collecting duct.
