This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Collagen and other ECM C-map, GAG's are very Hydrophilic, Elastin has gene sequences that are Hydrophobic, Fibroblasts synthesize and secrete Elastin, Basal Lamina has a synthetic substitute called Matrigel, Hyaluronan serves as a lubricant for connective Tissues, Basal Lamina contains the protein Laminin, Proteoglycans have sugars attached to them called GAG's, Integrins plays a key role in Development, Elastin binds to a chaperone protein in the Endoplasmic Reticulum, Proteoglycans provides hydration to Tissues, Collagens modification happens in the Golgi Apparatus, Extracellular Matrix contains Proteases, Proteoglycans core protein is synthesized in the Endoplasmic Reticulum, Elastin imparts elasticity to Tissues, Basal Lamina contains the protein Proteoglycans, MMP's is a type of Proteases, Extracellular Matrix contains proteins such as Laminin, Elastin is a type of Glycoprotein, Integrins receptors helps control cell Differentiation, Integrins allow cells to bind to Collagens
