Elastin is a
protein encoded by the ELN gene in
humans and
several other animals.
Elastin is a key
component in the
extracellular matrix of gnathostomes...
-
tissues contain high
amounts of
elastins.
Elastins are
synthesized by
fibroblasts and
smooth muscle cells.
Elastins are
highly insoluble, and tropoelastins...
-
component of the
extracellular matrix composed of
bundles of
proteins (
elastin)
which are
produced by a
number of
different cell
types including fibroblasts...
-
uniquely in
elastin, a
protein found in
connective tissue such as skin, lungs, and
elastic arteries.
Desmosine is a
component of
elastin and
cross links...
-
Elastin-like
polypeptides (ELPs) are
synthetic biopolymers with
potential applications in the
fields of
cancer therapy,
tissue scaffolding,
metal recovery...
-
ganglioside substrates and
other glycoconjugates. The GLB1 gene also
encodes an
elastin binding protein. In corn (Zea mays), Glb1 is a gene
coding for the storage...

elastic fiber networks and
collagen type II fibers. The prin****l
protein is
elastin.
Elastic cartilage is
histologically similar to
hyaline cartilage but contains...
- has a
particularly high
affinity for
bilirubin deposition due to high
elastin content.
Slight increases in
serum bilirubin can, therefore, be detected...
- Most
structural proteins are
fibrous proteins; for example,
collagen and
elastin are
critical components of
connective tissue such as cartilage, and keratin...

neutrophil elastase can
disrupt elastin and
components of the
alveolar wall of the lung that may lead to emphysema...
