MeSH definition : A fibrillin (FBN1) that functions as a structural support protein for MICROFIBRILS.
It also regulates the maturation of OSTEOBLASTS by controlling the availability and
concentration of TGF-BETA and BONE MORPHOGENETIC PROTEINS. Mutations in the FBN1 gene
are associated with MARFAN SYNDROME.;
MeSH synonym : Fibrillin 1;
DeCS synonym : Profibrillin 1;
