Tropoelastin binding to fibulins, nidogen‐2 and other extracellular matrix proteins

Abstract excerpt

Elastic fibers in vessel walls and other tissues consist of cross-linked tropoelastin in association with several microfibrillar proteins. In order to understand the molecular basis of these structures, we examined the binding of recombinant human tropoelastin to other extracellular matrix ligands in solid phase binding and surface plasmon resonance assays. These studies demonstrated a particularly high affinity...
