EFEMP1 also known as Fibulin-3 is a member of the fibulin family involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) organization. The protein's mass is approximately 55 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues but researchers find it most common in the eye lung and arterial walls. As a secreted glycoprotein Fibulin-3 plays a vital role in maintaining structural integrity and elasticity in connective tissues.
Biological function summary
EFEMP1/Fibulin-3 participates in ECM modulation and cell signaling. It interacts with other ECM components such as fibronectin and collagen contributing to structural assembly and stability. Although not prominently part of multi-protein complexes Fibulin-3 influences cellular adhesion and migration impacting tissue development and repair mechanisms. Researchers observe its expression during embryogenesis suggesting a role in developmental processes.
Pathways
EFEMP1/Fibulin-3 integrates into matrix-related pathways impacting tissue architecture. It plays a role in the EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) signaling pathway which is important for various cell survival and proliferation processes. Fibulin-3 exhibits functional relationships with proteins like fibronectin and integrins within these pathways highlighting its importance in mediating cell-matrix interactions and influencing signal transduction cascades.
EFEMP1/Fibulin-3 has notable connections with certain pathologies. Malfunctions in its expression or structure can relate to age-related macular degeneration and various forms of cancer including mesothelioma. In these diseases Fibulin-3 interacts with proteins such as matrix metalloproteinases which degrade extracellular matrix proteins thereby influencing tumor progression and ECM remodeling in affected tissues.
