EMILIN-1 Deficiency Induces Elastogenesis and Vascular Cell Defects
31 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
EMILINs constitute a family of genes of the extracellular matrix with high structural similarity. Four genes have been identified so far in human and mouse. To gain insight into the function of this gene family, EMILIN-1 has been inactivated in the mouse by gene targeting. The homozygous animals were fertile and did not show obvious abnormalities. However, histological and ultrastructural examination revealed...
