The liquid structure of elastin
eLife, 2017 The protein elastin imparts extensibility, elastic recoil, and resilience to tissues including arterial walls, skin, lung alveoli, and the uterus. Elastin and elastin-like peptides are hydrophobic, disordered, and undergo liquid-liquid phase separation ...

Frontiers in Physiology, 2016 A characteristic feature of liver cirrhosis is the accumulation of large amounts of connective tissue with the prevailing content of type I collagen. Elastin is a minor connective tissue component in normal liver but it is actively synthesized by hepatic

Nature, 1953 IN previous publications1,2, we reported that extracts of animal pancreas made with fluids of different pH exhibit varying elastolytic activity (e.u./gm.) on account of the presence of elastase inhibitor, which in the pancreas is bound to elastase3. In crude neutral solution, the activation of elastase may be carried out by acidification, dialysis or ...

Thermoelasticity of Elastin [PDF]
Nature, 1970 THERE is some controversy about the presence in elastin of an ordered structure1–3. Mammi et al.4 now report evidence for the occurrence of some degree of α-helix conformation in the native protein. The conformation was previously5 observed in soluble elastin; the temperature coefficient of the α-helix had different values in solvents such as water or ...

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1982 Previous morphologic observations have suggested abnormalities in the elastic fibers in a number of both inherited and acquired diseases. Recent progress made in understanding of the normal biology of elastin has allowed us to examine these diseases by biochemical means. In this review we are discussing the current status of the research on the elastin

Nature, 1962 THE aorta consists of elastin, collagen and a number of other proteins; it also contains about 2 per cent of carbohydrate1. Elastin is usually isolated from aorta or ligamentum nuchae by treatment with acids and alkalis at elevated temperatures; however, a small amount of ill-defined carbohydrate appears to be held strongly and cannot be easily ...

Elastin peptides signaling relies on neuraminidase-1-dependent lactosylceramide generation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The sialidase activity of neuraminidase-1 (Neu-1) is responsible for ERK 1/2 pathway activation following binding of elastin peptide on the elastin receptor complex.
