The substructure of elastin

Experimental and Molecular Pathology, 1978
Abstract Samples of purified elastins from nuchal ligaments and aortas of bovines aged 6 days, 15 months, and 10 years have been used to study elastin ultrastructure. Oxalic acid-solubilized elastin samples (α-elastins) have been fractionated by gel chromatography and caused to undergo reversible phase separation (coacervation) by heating and by ...

Radioemmunoassay of Elastin

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

Elastin

2005
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 ...

Structure of Elastin

2021
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.

The hydroxyproline of elastin

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure, 1969
Abstract The question of whether the hydroxyproline found in elastin represents contamination with collagen was studied by subjecting solubilized elastin (α- plus β-elastin) to prolonged collagenase digestion. No loss of hydroxyproline was seen, and it is concluded that hydroxyproline is indeed a constituent of elastin in which it occurs in a ...

Elastin as a matrikine

Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology, 2004
The fact that elastin peptides, the degradation products of the extracellular matrix protein elastin, are chemotactic for numerous cell types, promote cell cycle progression and induce release of proteolytic enzymes by stromal and cancer cells, strongly suggests that their presence in tissues could contribute to tumour progression.

Elastin and Elastin-Based Polymers

2009
Tropoelastin, 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 ...
