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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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

vocal fold. There is a steady increase in the elastin content of the lamina propria as humans age (elastin is a yellow scleroprotein, the essential constituent...

connective tissue and areolar connective tissue such as a collagen with elastin arranged in a diffusely bundled and woven pattern. The dermis has two layers:...
