Elastin is a key extracellular matrix protein that is roughly a 1000 times more flexible than collagens. The main function of elastin is to provide elasticity and resilience to extensible tissues like the lungs, aorta, and skin. The precursor of elastin is tropoelastin, which is primarily produced in fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, chondrocytes, and ...

Almost all structural studies on elastin have been done in higher vertebrates, in which it is organized as an extracellular network of branched fibres which vary from fractions f microns to several microns in diameter. By conventional electron microscopy, elastin appears amorphous.
