What is Reticulin?

Reticulin is a structural protein that forms part of the connective tissue in mammals. It is particularly abundant in the liver, spleen, and kidney, and plays a crucial role in providing support and structure to these organs. Reticulin fibers are composed of type III collagen and are found alongside other connective tissue components, helping to maintain the architectural integrity of tissues.
