Abstract excerpt
Fibulins are a family of extracellular glycoproteins associated with basement membranes and elastic fibers in vertebrates. Conservation of the fibulin-1 gene throughout metazoan evolution includes fibulin-1C and fibulin-1D alternate splice variants, although little is known about variant specific functions that would justify this striking structural conservation. We have therefore investigated the structure,...
