For example, cadherin 13 ( CDH13 ), versican ( CSPG2 ), collagen 8A1 ( COL8A1 ), collagen 12A1 ( COL12A1 ), P4HA2 (encoding a procollagen-modifying enzyme) all showed relatively low expression in the genital skin fibroblasts of normal males, whereas tenascin XB ( TNXB ), nidogen 2 ( NID2 ), laminins ( LAMA3 , LAMA4 ) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 ( TIMP1 ) all showed relatively high expression levels compared to AIS-derived fibroblasts (Figure 2).
However, several other researchers have reported that laminins including laminin-1 (LN1) also induce receptor aggregation in cultured mouse muscle cells [ 1 2 3 ] . At this time the LN1 stimulation pathway is not well understood, but it has been argued from several lines of evidence to be at least partially distinct from the agrin pathway.
Nidogen is a basement membrane protein composed of three globular domains G1-G3 and two linking sequences; domain G1 is joined to domain G2 through a flexible link and domain G2 is connected to domain G3 by a rod-like element consisting of EGF-like modules [ 47 ] . Nidogen1 is an important structural component of tertiary complexes with other such extracellular components as laminins, collagen IV, perlecan, and fibulins [ 48 ] . Fibulin-1C binds to nidogen1 through domain G2 of nidogen [ 48 ] . The nidogen binding site of fibulin-1C includes the type II EGF-like modules 6-9 and the carboxyl-terminal domain [ 42 ] .
