Fibrillines et fibrillinopathies [PDF]
médecine/sciences, 1996 Microfibrils contain a variety of proteins, the most prominent of which are the two fibrillins. Fibrillins are large glycoproteins (320 kDa) ubiquitously distributed in connective tissues. Together with amorphous elastin, fibrillin-containing microfibrils form the elastic fibers.

"Computational Analysis of the Effect of fbn1 Gene Mutations in the Marfan Syndrome" [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2004 Fibrillin is a large glycoprotein synthesized in the tissues involved in Marfan syndrome, and known to be involved in tissue elasticity. The syndrome is corresponded to fbn1 gene and is characterized by cardiovascular, ocular, and skeletal abnormalities.

Assembly of Epithelial Cell Fibrillins [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2001 Fibrillins are large structural macromolecules that are components of connective tissue microfibrils. Fibrillin microfibrils have been found in association with basement membranes, where microfibrils appear to insert directly into the lamina densa.

Arabidopsis thaliana plastoglobule‐associated fibrillin 1a interacts with fibrillin 1b in vivo [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2014 Plant fibrillins are a well‐conserved protein family found in the plastids of all photosynthetic organisms, where they perform a wide range of functions. A number of these proteins have been suggested to be involved in the maintenance of thylakoids and the formation of plastoglobules, preventing their coalescence and favoring their clustering via an as‐

When proteomics reveals unsuspected roles: the plastoglobule example
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 Plastoglobules are globular compartments found in plastids. Before initial proteomic studies were published, these particles were often viewed as passive lipid droplets whose unique role was to store lipids coming from the thylakoid turn-over, or to ...

Fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-1-derived asprosin in adipose tissue function and metabolic disorders [PDF]
Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling, 2020 The extracellular matrix microenvironment of adipose tissue is of critical importance for the differentiation, remodeling and function of adipocytes. Fibrillin-1 is one of the main components of microfibrils and a key player in this process. Furin processing of profibrillin-1 results in mature fibrillin-1 and releases the C-terminal propeptide as a ...

A patient with pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis carrying a novel fibrillin-2 gene variant
Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2023 Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis is a recently recognized clinical entity characterized by interstitial pneumonia with proliferating elastin in the upper lung regions. Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis is categorized as idiopathic or reported depending on
