Figure 1From: Specific structure and unique function define the hemicentinSchematics comparing the structures of fibulins and hemicentin family members in both C. elegans and human. The von Willebrand A domain (vWA), located behind the amino acid terminal signal peptide and the long chain of immunoglobulin modules, which follows the hemicentin domain, encompasses over 80 percent of the entire translational length of hemicentin genes (figure not to scale).Back to article page
