Abstract excerpt
Elastin microfibril interface-located protein 1 (EMILIN1), a glycoprotein, is associated with elastin in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of arteries, lymph vasculature, and other tissues. EMILIN1 particularly has a niche role in elastin fiber biogenesis (elastogenesis) by aiding with the fusion of elastin fibers, rendering them more ordered. In addition to elastogenesis, EMILIN1 has been shown to have roles in...
