Identification of a Matrix-binding Domain in MAGP1 and MAGP2 and Intracellular Localization of Alternative Splice Forms
1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
MAGP1 is a small molecular mass protein associated with microfibrils in the extracellular matrix (ECM). To identify the molecular basis of its interaction with other microfibrillar proteins, deletion constructs of MAGP1 were expressed in a mammalian cell system that served as a model for microfibril assembly. This study identified a 54-amino acid sequence in the carboxyl-terminal region of the protein that...
