The Polyelectrolyte Properties of Elastin
Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 1992The charge structure and ionic interactions of elastin prepared from the pig thoracic aorta by acid, alkali, or CNBr extraction have been investigated by potentiometric titration and radiotracer techniques. The number of charged groups was consistent with the amino acid composition, comparable to elastin from other sources and insensitive to the method

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 (ECM) protein that provides resilience and elasticity to tissues and organs. Elastin is roughly 1000 times more flexible than collagens; thus, the main function of elastin is the elasticity of tissues. It is the dominant protein in extensible tissues and is primarily present in the lungs, aorta, and skin. Mutations

Elastins encompass the class of protein-based materials derived from the sequence of tropoelastin, the major protein component of native elastic tissue in vertebrates. Biophysical studies of native tropoelastin and tropoelastin-derived sequences have provided insight into the structural mechanism that underlies the elastomeric mechanical response of ...

Publisher Summary The elastic properties of many tissues such as the lung, dermis, and large blood vessels are because of the presence of elastic fibers in the extracellular space. These fibers have been shown by biochemical and ultrastructural analysis to be composed of two distinct components, a more abundant amorphous component and the ...

Summary By several methods of hydrolysis a fluorescent polar organic acid can be disconnected from the peptide chains of elastin. The compound is a saturated acid with a carbon chain of about 12 atoms and possibly ketonic functions. Its connection to the peptide chains suggests the presence of lipopeptide units.

Elastin and Elastin-Associated-Protein of Porcine Aorta and Lung
Connective Tissue Research, 1990Elastic fibers comprise elastin and other proteins termed as elastin-associated proteins. The nature of association between the elastin and elastin-associated-protein is not known. We have isolated elastic fibers from 5-month-old porcine aorta and lung parenchyma using urea, dithiothreitol and 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate at 55 degrees C.

Ultrastructural Pathology, 1983
Fibrous elastin is a biologic macromolecular construct for which there currently exists a wide disparity of descriptions. On the one hand is the view that elastin is an unambiguously random network of polypeptide chains best described functionally by analogy to rubber elasticity.

Elastin is the matrix protein imparting the physiologically essential properties of extensibility and elastic recoil to large arteries, lung parenchyma and other vertebrate tissues. Elastin is a polymeric protein formed from tropoelastin monomers and cross-linked, like collagens, through the side chains of lysine residues by the action of lysyl oxidase.
