Abstract

Basement membranes are specialized extracellular matrices formed by highly insoluble structural proteins and extracellular matrix (ECM)-bound components that provide structural and signaling support to tissues and are dynamic during development. Here, we present a mass spectrometry-based label-free quantitative proteomics protocol to investigate basement membranes and define their composition using samples from human kidney organoids and mouse fetal kidneys. This protocol facilitates the study of basement membrane and other ECM components during development to improve our understanding of matrix regulation and function. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Morais etal.1.
