Major components of the GBM include type IV collagen, laminin, and heparan sulfate proteoglycans, as in basement membranes at other sites
Major proteoglycans of the GBM are heparan sulfate proteoglycans, including perlecan and agrin.
GBM serves as the skeleton of the glomerular tuft.
GBM is a complexly folded sack with an opening at the glomerular hilum.
The outer aspect of GBM sack is completely covered with podocytes.
The interior of the sack is filled with the capillaries and the mesangium.
As a result, on its inner aspect, the GBM is in contact with either capillaries or the mesangium.
