Elastin is a major structural protein of tissues such as aorta, which must expand rapidly and recover completely. Elastin chains are cross-linked together into an extensible 3D network. It is a molecular determinant of late arterial morphogenesis, stabilizing arterial structure by regulating proliferation and organization of vascular smooth muscle. Defects in elastin are a cause of autosomal dominant cutis laxa.

The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts.Titration of the Elastin antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.

Bovine alpha-elastin was used as the immunogen for this Elastin antibody.

After reconstitution, the Elastin antibody can be stored for up to one month at4oC.For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC.Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
