The modular domain structures of fibulin family members. Fibulin-3, fibulin-4, and fibulin-5 share high homology with over 50% amino acid identity, and are nearly identical in their structural organization. They each have a modified cbEGF domain with an insertion of 28 to 88 amino acids. AT, anaphylatoxin.
