basement membrane
basement membrane (basal lamina) A thin sheet of fibrous proteins that underlies and supports the cells of an
epithelium, separating this from underlying tissue. Such membranes also surround muscle cells, Schwann cells, and fat cells, and a thick basement membrane is found in the kidney glomerulus, where it acts as a filter (see
ultrafiltration). Basement membranes are components of the
extracellular matrix and help to regulate passage of materials between epithelial cells and adjacent blood vessels. Each consists of a framework of
collagen fibrils, within which are
glycosaminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides) and laminins, which are proteins that bind the basement membrane to neighbouring cells via
cell adhesion molecules.
