The main component of microfibrils is a glycoprotein called fibrillin.

这些微纤的主要成分是一种糖蛋，叫做原纤蛋。

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

在一些结构中，微纤他蛋提供支架作用，比说弹性蛋。

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

原纤蛋构成微纤之外，还能调节组织生长。

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纤减少，造成组织完整性和弹性下降。

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.

弹性纤维存在于动脉、皮肤、肺等组织，无弹性蛋但含有微纤的组织包括肌腱以及维持晶状体正常位置的睫状带等。
