The main component of microfibrils is a glycoprotein called fibrillin.

这些微丝的主要成分是一种糖蛋白，叫蛋白。

In some structures microfibrils form a scaffold for additional proteins like elastin.

在一些结构中，微丝为其他蛋白提供支架作用，比说弹性蛋白。

In addition to being part of microfibrils, fibrillin also regulates tissue growth.

蛋白除了构成微丝之外，还能调节组。

As a result, there are fewer functioning microfibrils in the extracellular matrix, and that means there's less tissue integrity and elasticity.

这会导致细胞外基质中正常的微丝减少，造成组完整性和弹性下降。

Tissues that have elastin fibers are tissues like the arteries, skin, and lungs, and tissues that have microfibrils but no overlying layer of elastin are like tendons and the ciliary zonules that hold the eye lens in place.

弹性维存在于动脉、皮肤、肺等组，无弹性蛋白但含有微丝的组包括肌腱以及维持晶状体正常位置的睫状带等。
