Abstract excerpt
The calcium-binding basement membrane protein fibulin-1C was shown to bind nidogen in a calcium-dependent fashion. Fibulin-1C consists of small N (domain 1) and C-terminal (domain III) globular structures connected by a central rod (domain II) composed of nine epidermal growth factor (EG) modules, eight of which possess a consensus sequence for calcium binding. Several point and deletion mutants and chimeric...
