== Function ==

Nidogen-1 is a member of the nidogen family of basement membrane glycoproteins. The protein interacts with several other components of basement membranes. Structurally it (along with perlecan) connects the networks formed by collagens and laminins to each other.<ref name="pmid19355968">{{cite journal | vauthors = Yurchenco PD, Patton BL | title = Developmental and pathogenic mechanisms of basement membrane assembly | journal = Curr.
