lam·i·nin (lamґĭ-nin) an adhesive glycoprotein, comprising a number of cell- and tissue-specific isoforms, that is a component of the basement membrane; it binds to heparan sulfate, type IV collagen, and specific cell-surface receptors and is involved in the attachment of epithelial cells to underlying connective tissue.
