Fibulin (FY-beau-lin) (now known as Fibulin-1 FBLN1) is the prototypic member of a multigene family currently with seven members. Fibulin-1 is a calcium-binding glycoprotein. In vertebrates fibulin-1 is found in blood and extracellular matrices. In the extracellular matrix fibulin-1 associates with basement membranes and elastic fibers.
