Hemicentins: what have we learned from worms?

Cell research - 1 Nov 2006

Vogel Bruce E, Muriel Joaquin M, Dong Chun, Xu Xuehong

Abstract excerpt

Hemicentins are conserved extracellular matrix proteins discovered in Caenorhabditis elegans, with orthologs in all vertebrate species including human and mouse. Hemicentins share a single, highly conserved amino-terminal von Willebrand A domain, followed by a long (>40) stretch of immunoglobulin repeats, multiple tandem epidermal growth factors and a fibulin-like carboxy-terminal module. C. elegans has a single...
