Nidogen
Nidogens, formerly known as entactins, are a family of sulfated
embryonic development, particularly in cardiac and lung development.[6] From an evolutionary perspective, nidogens are highly conserved across vertebrates and invertebrates, retaining their ability to bind laminin.[7]
In
nematodes, nidogen-1 is necessary for axon guidance, but not for basement membrane assembly.[8]
