Abstract excerpt
Calcium binding epidermal growth factor-like domains (cbEGFs) are present in many extracellular proteins, including fibrillin-1, Notch-3, protein S, factor IX and the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor, which perform a diverse range of functions. Genetic mutations that cause amino acid changes within these proteins have been linked to the Marfan syndrome (MFS), CADASIL, protein S deficiency, haemophilia B and...
