The Sequence and Function Relationship of Elastin: How Repetitive Sequences can Influence the Physical Properties of Elastin
Elastin is an essential extracellular protein that is a key component of elastic fibres, providing elasticity to cardiac, dermal, and arterial tissues. During the development of the human cardiovascular system, elastin self-assembles before being integrated into fibres, undergoing no significant tur...
