Structure, Chromosomal Localization, and Promoter Analysis of the Human Elastin MicrofibrilInterfase Located proteIN (EMILIN) Gene
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Elastin microfibril interfase-located protein (EMILIN) is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein abundantly expressed in elastin-rich tissues such as the blood vessels, skin, heart, and lung. It occurs with elastic fibers at the interface between amorphous elastin and microfibrils. In vitro experiments suggested a role for EMILIN in the process of elastin deposition. This multimodular protein consists of 995 amino...
