EMILIN, a Component of the Elastic Fiber and a New Member of the C1q/Tumor Necrosis Factor Superfamily of Proteins
1 Jun 1999
Abstract excerpt
EMILIN (elastin microfibril interface located protein) is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein abundantly expressed in elastin-rich tissues such as blood vessels, skin, heart, and lung. It occurs associated with elastic fibers at the interface between amorphous elastin and microfibrils. Avian EMILIN was extracted from 19-day-old embryonic chick aortas and associated blood vessels and purified by ion-exchange...
