Fibulin-1 is a component of the extracellular matrix that surrounds vascular smooth muscle.
This observation, along with the recent finding that fibulin-1 can bind fibrinogen (J Biol Chem …

The fibulins are an emerging family of extracellular matrix and blood proteins presently
having two members designated fibulin-1 and− 2. Fibulin-1 is the predominant fibulin in …

The extracellular matrix proteins fibulin-1 (variants C and D) and fibulin-2 occur in basement
membranes and in vessel walls and are thus potential candidates for cellular interactions …

We investigated the assembly of soluble fibronectin by lysophosphatidic acid-activated
platelets adherent to fibrinogen or fibrin. More fibronectin was assembled by activated …

Fibulin-1 is a fibrinogen-binding blood protein and a component of many extracellular
matrices (ECM) including those of blood vessels. In this study, the deposition patterns of …

We have investigated how modulation of integrin α IIb β 3 function influences the
mechanisms that initiate platelet thrombus formation onto surface-bound fibrinogen and …

Fibulin-5, an extracellular matrix glycoprotein expressed in elastin-rich tissues, regulates
vascular cell behaviour and elastic fibre deposition. Recombinant full-length human fibulin-5 …

Fibulin-1 is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein found in both loose and dense connective
tissues, elastic fibers and some basement membranes. Cultured cells such as fibroblasts …

Enclothelial cells and activated platelets express integrin-type receptors responsible for
adhesion to fibrinogen. We have located distinct integrin-directed endothelial cell and …

BACKGROUND: Fibulin-5 is a novel extracellular protein that is thought to act as a bridging
peptide between elastin fibers and cell surface integrins in blood vessel wall. Fibulin-5 …
