Functional structure and composition of the extracellular matrix
Abstract
In this brief introductory paper the general structure and the molecular composition of the extracellular matrix are outlined. Ultrastructural morphology of the extracellular matrix is introduced and subsequently the molecular structure of each of the main protein families, which together make up the extracellular matrix, is reviewed. Collagens, laminins, tenascins, and proteoglycans are addressed. An important common feature is the domain structure of these in general very large proteins. Several families have domains in common, which favours extensive interactions. Integrins play an important role in these interactions and also in the communication between cells and the matrix. The extracellular matrix appears to be a very dynamic structure, which has a prominent role in normal development as well as in a variety of disease processes. Matrix metalloproteinases are essential actors in this complex interplay between cells and the extracellular matrix. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
