Elastin is a protein encoded by the ELN gene in humans. Elastin is a key component in the extracellular matrix of gnathostomes (jawed vertebrates). It...

tissues contain high amounts of elastins. Elastins are synthesized by fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells. Elastins are highly insoluble, and tropoelastins...

Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are synthetic biopolymers with potential applications in the fields of cancer therapy, tissue scaffolding, metal recovery...

component of the extracellular matrix composed of bundles of proteins (elastin) which are produced by a number of different cell types including fibroblasts...

ganglioside substrates and other glycoconjugates. The GLB1 gene also encodes an elastin binding protein. In corn (Zea mays), Glb1 is a gene coding for the storage...

uniquely in elastin, a protein found in connective tissue such as skin, lungs, and elastic arteries. Desmosine is a component of elastin and cross links...

specialized organs such as the cornea.: 161  Elastic fibers, made from elastin and fibrillin, also provide resistance to stretch forces.: 171  They are...

Most structural proteins are fibrous proteins; for example, collagen and elastin are critical components of connective tissue such as cartilage, and keratin...

elastic fiber networks and collagen type II fibers. The principal protein is elastin. Elastic cartilage is histologically similar to hyaline cartilage but contains...

thought to cause fibroblasts to produce more elastin fibers, which are more twisted than normal elastin fibers and may lead to the degradation of the...
