Extensin is arguably the most abundant protein on the planet. This fact alone warrants a page dedicated to extensins. I will be providing additional factual information in the next few days. Dlamport 20:36, 28 June 2007 (UTC)dlamportReply

Yeah, right now all we have is the guy's phone number (I assume that's a phone number) which shouldn't be in Wikipedia. With some factual information and some sources, it could be a good article. Useight 20:48, 28 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
That's not a phone #, but actually page #'s referenced by the inline citations. Dlamport 21:38, 28 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
This is an acceptable stub, and quite certainly not speediable.--Anthony.bradbury"talk" 22:09, 28 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

"Extensin is arguably the most abundant protein on the planet." Arguably is correct. Try and say that to Rubisco fans. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.138.212.90 (talk) 23:19, 2 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

The cell wall typically makes up 30% of the cell dry weight, and extensin can contribute 10-20% of the dry weight of cell walls. By my calculations, this implies 3-6% of the cell dry weight, i.e. 30-60 mg/ g (DW). Although admittedly, extensin is not present in all cell walls, how does that compare to Rubisco content?Apoplast (talk) 14:33, 19 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
