'''Fibrillin-1''' is a protein that is encoded in human bodies by the gene FBN1 situated on chromosome 15. Fibrillin-1 is a single protein chain of 230kb involving 65 exons from the class of '''glycoproteins''' with a mass of 350kDa. The protein forms microfibrils located in the extracellular matrix, and thus has a role in the structural support of cells in elastic and nonelastic connective tissues in the human body. <ref>Handford, P.
