Abstract excerpt
Fibrillin-1 is a large extracellular glycoprotein which is a major structural component of 10-12 nm microfibrils. Defects in human fibrillin-1 give rise to the autosomal dominant connective tissue disease the Marfan syndrome and related disorders. Previous studies examining the biosynthesis and secretion of recombinant fibrillin-1 fragments have been performed in cell lines which do not assemble fibrillin into...
