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

一些结构中，微纤为其他蛋白提供支架作用，比如说性蛋白。

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.

性纤维存脉、皮肤、肺等织，无性蛋白但含有微纤织包括肌腱以及维持晶状体正常位置睫状带等。

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微纤减少，造成织完整性和性下降。

The main component of microfibrils is a glycoprotein called fibrillin.

这些微纤主要成分是一种糖蛋白，叫做原纤蛋白。

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

原纤蛋白除了构成微纤之外，还能调节织生长。
