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

Recent Advances in Elastin-Based Biomaterial
Elastin is one of the main components of the extracellular matrix; it provides resistance and elasticity to a variety of tissues and organs of the human body, besides participating in cellular signaling.

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]
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.

Mechanical Properties and Functions of Elastin: An Overview
Human tissues must be elastic, much like other materials that work under continuous loads without losing functionality. The elasticity of tissues is provided by elastin, a unique protein of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of mammals.
