Fibrillin-1 and alpha8 integrin are co-expressed in the glomerulus and interact to convey adhesion of mesangial cells

Fibrillin-1 is a microfibrillar extracellular matrix protein that was described to be a ligand for α8 integrin. α8 integrin is a matrix receptor specifically expressed in mesangial and smooth muscle cells of the kidney. In previous studies we detected glomerular expression of fibrillin-1. Moreover,...
