| 1. | Fibrillin builds the oxytalan fibers, which causes the elastic behavior.
|
| 2. | The zonules are primarily made of fibrillin, a connective tissue protein.
|
| 3. | There is no complete, high-resolution structure of fibrillin-1.
|
| 4. | Both can be caused by mutations in the gene encoding a protein called fibrillin.
|
| 5. | Reducing the level of normal fibrillin 1 causes a Marfan-related disease in mice.
|
| 6. | Impressively, in fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2, 43 cbEGF modules have been found.
|
| 7. | Impressively, in fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2, 43 cbEGF modules have been found.
|
| 8. | The microfibrils that are made up of fibrillin protein are responsible for different cell-matrix interactions in the human body.
|
| 9. | Mutations in the fibrillin gene lead to the condition Marfan syndrome, and consequences include an increased risk of lens dislocation.
|
| 10. | Marfan's is a highly variable but potentially deadly disorder of connective tissue involving a defect in a protein called fibrillin.
