Background
Fibulin 1 is a secreted glycoprotein that becomes incorporated into a fibrillar extracellular matrix. Calcium-binding is apparently required to mediate its binding to laminin and nidogen. It mediates platelet adhesion via binding fibrinogen. Four splice variants which differ in the 3' end have been identified. Each variant encodes a different isoform, but no functional distinctions have been identified among the four variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
developmental stage:Widely expressed during embryonic development. Prominent in the matrix of the leptomeningeal anlage, in basement membranes of the neuroepithelium and the perineurium of peripheral nerves. In embryos of gestational week (gw) 4, staining was observed in the early mesenchymal bone anlagen. In gw 6.5 and 8, all perichondrial structures showed expression but the chondrocytes themselves showed no staining. In gw 10, expression is prominent in the interterritorial matrix surrounding the hypertrophic chondrocytes.,disease:A chromosomal aberration involving FBLN1 is found in a complex type of synpolydactyly, also referred to as 3/3-prime/4 synpolydactyly associated with metacarpal and metatarsal synostoses [MIM:608180]. Reciprocal translocation t(12;22)(p11.2;q13.3) with C12orf2. Fibroblasts derived from a patient with synpolydactyly displayed alterations in the level of isofo
