The evolution of extracellular fibrillins and their functional domains.

The evolution of extracellular fibrillins and their functional domains.

Fibrillins constitute the major backbone of multifunctional microfibrils in elastic and non-elastic extracellular matrices, and are known to interact with several binding partners including tropoelastin and integrins. Here, we study the evolution of fibrillin proteins. Following sequence collection...
