Elastin consists of cross-linked tropoelastin monomers that make up about 90% of elastic fibers; the rest are fibrillin microfibrils. Elastin's primary function is to allow tissues to stretch and return to their original size. Your arteries, for instance, transport blood to and from your heart...

This gene encodes a protein that is one of the two components of elastic fibers. The encoded protein is rich in hydrophobic amino acids such as glycine and proline, which form mobile hydrophobic regions bounded by crosslinks between lysine residues. Deletions and mutations in this gene are associ...
Intrinsic aging vs. photoaging: a comparative histopathological, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural study of skin and elastin were used to quantitatively evaluate changes in collagen and elastic fibers and their ultrastructure was examined by transmission electron microscopy...

Elastic fibers contain elastin and elastin is important for the extensibility of the tendon. When a tendon is injured and ruptured the tissue heals through scar formation. This scar tissue is different from a normal intact tendon and it is important to understand how the tendons heal. Little is...

[5], researchers have used genetic engineering to generate elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) that inherits the biocompatibility and elastic retraction capabilities of natural elastin. Accordingly, these ELPs are believed to be highly suitable for simulating the extracellular environment of elastic tissues ...
