General description
Elastin (ELN) is a non-soluble protein. The highly durable protein is a major component of the extracellular matrix and is an intrinsic indicator of pathologic states.
Immunogen
Elastin precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-ELN antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions
Elastin (ELN) is one protein which remains functional throughout a lifetime. It offers the critical recoil property for all tissues that deal with constant strain. Structural properties and mechanical strength of elastic tissues in the lungs, skin and vasculature are contributed by ELN. During wound healing it is deficient and once scar tissue starts forming, ELN exists as a disorganized network of fibers. Processes like cell migration and matrix synthesis are mediated by it. Mutations in the gene encoding ELN have been associated with cutis laxa and supravalvular aortic stenosis.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Semilunar valve leaflets have a well-described trilaminar histoarchitecture, with a sophisticated elastic fiber network. It was previously proposed that elastin-containing fibers play a subordinate role in early human cardiac valve development; however, this assumption was based on data obtained from
