Fibrillins are the primary constituents of the microfibrills in the extracellular matrix of many elastic and non-elastic connective tissues. They consists of an N-terminal fibrillin unique domain (FUN) (Pfam:PF18193) and several calcium-binding epidermal growth factor-like (cbEGF-like) domains [1]. This entry represents the first EGF-like domain which together with FUN, contributes to the binding to cbEGFs [1].

This is the N-terminal domain of human fibrillin-1. Fibrillin is a primary constituent of microfibrils in the extracellular matrix of many elastic and non-elastic connective tissues. This domain, known as the fibrillin unique N-terminal (FUN) domain, constitutes the minimal interaction site for the fibrillin C terminus. The FUN domain has homologs in the human proteins LTBP-1L/2 and VWCE, which are also associated with a C-terminal EGF-like domain [1].
