GMP Human Laminin 521 Protein (GMP Laminin 521) is a recombinant human protein that offers a defined surface for the feeder-free culture of various human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) in vitro. GMP Laminin 521 has been shown to preserve normal growth characteristics and stemness in multiple PSC lines, including ESC, iPSC, MSC, etc., without inducing differentiation.
GMP Laminin 521 has also been proven to support PSC growth for over 10 passages without any evidence of karyotypic abnormalities and to retain the ability of PSCs to differentiate into all three germ lineages.
High-quality products and regulatory support files ensure a smooth transition from preclinical research and development to cell therapy clinical studies. GMP Laminin 521 is designed for clinical research and produced through an animal-free process in a GMP-compliant facility.
A comprehensive range of QC tests is conducted to guarantee product quality, including assessments for purity, bioactivity, sterility, mycoplasma, endotoxin, and more. GMP Laminin 521 protein (GMP-LA5H24) is the GMP version of the premium-grade laminin 521 protein (LA5-H5261), offering identical performance for a seamless transition.
Flexible and compatible
GMP Laminin 521 is compatible with any commercial stem cell media and can support the attachment and expansion of hPSCs as single cells or small colonies.
Stemness maintenance
GMP Laminin 521 is the biologically relevant extracellular matrix for hPSCs. It plays a crucial role in the growth and maintenance of stemness in hPSCs by binding to the a6β1 integrin cell receptors.
Enhance cell differentiation
Due to its biorelevant properties, GMP Laminin 521 also promotes cell differentiation, polarization, and organization of target cell types, such as neurons, hepatocytes, cardiomyocytes, retinal pigmented epithelial cells, and pancreatic β-cells.
Reduce variability
GMP Laminin 521 is a defined, recombinant human protein that offers improved lot-to-lot consistency, helping to reduce variability in the PSC cultures.
