Fibulin-5 (also known as EVEC/DANCE) is an extracellular matrix protein. Fibulin-5 is most commonly found in blood vessels and cardiac valves during embryogenesis and in adult tissue that contains elastic fibers like the skin, lungs, uterus and aorta. Fibulin-5 travels to the surface of the elastic fibers and its activity is dependent on calcium. Fibulin-5 seems to work as a scaffold protein that facilitates the binding of the elastic fibers to cells and the formation of the elastic fibers themselves. Mutations of fibulin-5 have been associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cutis laxa (CL).
