Abstract excerpt
Human fibrillin-1, an extracellular matrix glycoprotein, has a modular organization that includes 43 calcium-binding epidermal growth factor-like (cbEGF) domains arranged as multiple tandem repeats. A missense mutation that changes a highly conserved glycine to serine (G1127S) has been identified in cbEGF13, which results in a variant of Marfan syndrome, a connective tissue disease. Previous experiments on...
