Abstract excerpt
Fibrillin-1 mutations promote Marfan syndrome (MFS) via complex yet unclear pathways. The roles of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the major ER redox chaperone protein disulfide isomerase-A1 in the processing of normal and mutated fibrillin-1 and ensuing protein secretion and/or intracellular retention are unclear. Our results in mouse embryonic fibroblasts bearing the exon-skipping mgΔ(lox-P-neo) (mgΔ(lpn))...
