Dictionary » E » Elastin ElastinElastin (Science: protein) glycoprotein (70 kD) randomly coiled and cross linked to form elastic fibres that are found in connective tissue. Like collagen, the amino acid composition is unusual with 30% of residues being glycine and with a high proline content. Cross linking depends upon formation of desmosine from four lysine side groups. The mechanical properties of elastin are poorer in old animals. ![]()

Re: Animal Qs.... collagen is FALSE? - formed by macromolecular assembly of procallagen, produced by enzymes, or its slight crimp give it elasticity independent of elastin? I think first, because it should be protocollagen Which is false? - primary cell in fibrocaritlage is fibrochondrocyte or , primary celll type ...
