Elastin is a versatile elastic protein that dominates flexible tissues capable of recoil, and facilitates commensurate cell interactions in these tissues in all higher vertebrates. Elastin's persistence and insolubility hampered early efforts to construct versatile biomaterials.

Matrix Biology, 2019
Elastic fibers are an essential component of the extracellular matrix where they provide structural integrity and elastic recoil in a number of important tissues. A major constituent of these fibers is elastin, an insoluble metabolically stable polymer formed via extensive crosslinking of the monomeric precursor tropoelastin. Research over the past few

Elastin is a key extracellular matrix protein that is critical to the elasticity and resilience of many vertebrate tissues including large arteries, lung, ligament, tendon, skin, and elastic cartilage. Tropoelastin associates with multiple tropoelastin molecules during the major phase of elastogenesis through coacervation, where this process is ...

Elastin and Elastin-Based Polymers
2009Tropoelastin, elastin and elastin-derived peptides are very interesting molecules for the production of nanodevices with different purposes. Because of its peculiar structure and physical chemical characteristics, due to alternate hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains, tropoelastin can be fragmented and each fragment used for specific functions, such as ...

As the extracellular matrix protein, elastin is a crucial component of connective tissue in life. It is responsible for the structural integrity and function of tissues undergoing reversible extensibility or deformability, even though it may make up only a small percentage of a tissue.

Connective Tissue Research, 1977
Highly purified elastin was prepared from bovine ligamentum nuchae by hot alkali extraction. Antisera to the protein, developed against suspensions or acid solubilized preparations, were obtained from rabbits and guinea pigs. Of a large number of proteins, only insoluble elastin (from the aortae of several animal species) and tropoelastin, the putative

Abstract Elastin, when mature, is the most insoluble protein in the vertebrate body. It is synthesized as an Mr= 70 000 precursor from a 3.5 kb mRNA encoded by a single gene into a protein termed tropoelastin, which is cross-linked sub-sequent to secretion by the copper-dependent enzyme, Iysyl oxidase (1).

Extracellular matrix is generally increased in asthma, causing thickening of the airways which may either increase or decrease airway responsiveness, depending on the mechanical requirements of the deposited matrix. However, in vitro studies have shown that the altered extracellular matrix produced by asthmatic airway smooth muscle cells is able to ...

PARTRIDGE et al.1 observed that hydrolysis of pure insoluble elastin from bovine ligamentum nuchae by oxalic acid gave rise to soluble elastin consisting of two fractions: α-elastin with a mean molecular weight of 60,000–84,000; and β-elastin with a mean molecular weight of 5,000.

Supramolecular Organization of Elastin and Elastin-Related Nanostructured Biopolymers
Nanomedicine, 2007The ultrastructure of elastin has been extensively analyzed by different methodologies. Starting from the first descriptions, where elastin was depicted as an amorphous structure, more complex and, in some cases, varied morphologies were revealed. The supramolecular structures found for elastin have been compared with those found for other elastin ...
