Definition of elastin in English:

elastin

noun ɪˈlastɪnəˈlæstən

mass nounBiochemistry

A protein forming the main constituent of elastic connective tissue, found especially in the dermis of the skin.
Example sentencesExamples
- Designed silk-like materials have been made in this way, as well as protein-related synthetic materials similar to collagen and elastin, an elastic protein in skin.
- The proteins (collagen and elastin fibrils) are the base of the interstitial matrix.
- Protein is crucial for the production of collagen and elastin, the protein fibres that keep skin supple and elastic
- The dermis also helps regulate collagen and elastin, protein fibers that keep skin soft, and help it to adjust its size to accommodate your growing body.
- Molecular chromophores besides melanin abound in the skin and include keratin, collagen, elastin, proteins, lipids, steroids and urocanic acid to name a few.

Origin

Late 19th century: from elastic + -in¹.
