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).

Pulmonary Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2012
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 ...

Interaction Between Cells and Elastin, the Elastin-receptor
Connective Tissue Research, 1999This article dedicated to Ines Mandl at her 80th birthday is a short review of the recent work of our team on the elastin receptor. Our studies started in the early nineteen eighties aimed at the understanding of cell-elastin interactions. The first experiments reviewed demonstrated the inducible interaction of cells--smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts ...

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 ...
