Abstract excerpt
Human fibrillin-1 is an extra-cellular matrix glycoprotein with a modular organisation that includes 43 calcium-binding epidermal growth factor-like (cbEGF) domains arranged as multiple tandem repeats interspersed with transforming growth factor beta binding protein-like (TB) domains. We have studied Marfan syndrome-causing mutations which affect calcium binding to cbEGF13, and demonstrate that in human...
