fibrillin family

CATEGORY

secretory , structural protein

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
text	extracellular matrix protein

basic FUNCTION	structural component of connective tissue microfibrils that binds calcium
	fibrillin-containing microfibrils provide long-term force bearing structural support
	FBN1, FBN2, FBN3, are important in maintaining the structure and integrity of the extracellular matrix and, in combination with their sequence family members the LTBPs, also contribute to the regulation of the TGFB family of major growth factors
