Fibrillin domain folding and calcium binding: significance to Marfan syndrome.

Chemistry & biology - 1 Feb 1995

Wu Y S, Bevilacqua V L, Berg J M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Marfan syndrome is a heritable disorder of connective tissue which has been associated with mutations in a gene encoding fibrillin, a 350 kD glycoprotein found in microfibrils. This protein consists of approximately 60 domains, 47 of which have similarity to epidermal growth factor (E...
