Elastin
Application Notes
Elastin is highly stable and hemocompatible protein now finding use in construction of biomaterials as a result of several strategies for its solubilization. It is a structural protein which has been used in studies of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It may be used to investigate why there is a lack of repair for these proteins in patients with COPD.
