LAMB1 antibodies target the beta-1 chain of laminin, which mediates cellular adhesion, migration, and tissue organization . HRP conjugation enables enzymatic signal amplification, typically via secondary antibodies (e.g., ab97051 in Source ). While no direct HRP-conjugated LAMB1 primary antibodies are detailed in the sources, standard protocols involve pairing unconjugated LAMB1 antibodies with HRP-linked secondary reagents.

Immunofluorescence: Cytoplasmic staining in HepG2 and NIH/3T3 cells .
HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (e.g., Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG-HRP) are used with primary LAMB1 antibodies for signal detection. Example protocol from Source :
Primary Antibody: Anti-LAMB1 (1:100–1:5000 dilution).
Secondary Antibody: HRP-conjugated IgG (1:100,000 dilution).
Detection: Chemiluminescent substrate exposure (20–70 seconds).
Developmental Roles: LAMB1 is essential for basement membrane integrity and cerebral cortex lamination .
Disease Associations: Dysregulation linked to leukodystrophy and cancer metastasis .
Apoptosis Markers: Caspase-mediated cleavage of laminin subunits (e.g., Lamin B1) serves as an apoptosis indicator .
Laminin, binding to cells through a high-affinity receptor, is believed to mediate cell attachment, migration, and tissue organization during embryonic development. This occurs through interactions with other extracellular matrix components. Laminin is involved in establishing the laminar architecture of the cerebral cortex. It is essential for maintaining the integrity of the basement membrane/glia limitans, which serves as an anchor point for radial glial cell end-feet and a physical barrier to migrating neurons. Radial glial cells are crucial for cerebral cortical development, functioning as both the proliferative unit of the cortex and a scaffold for neuronal migration towards the pial surface.
