The Molecular Biology and Pathology of Elastic Tissues
Elastin is a molecule of the extracellular matrix, which appeared during phylogenesis only with the vertebrates. Organs and tissues rich in elastin (e.g. in the circulatory and respiratory systems) age the most rapidly. Elastic fibres are complex structures and their biosynthesis presents problems for the elastin-producing cell. Physiological turnover of insoluble elastin is very slow, so little remodelling of elastic fibres occurs during adult life. However, increased elastin destruction occurs in certain pathological conditions, due either to the release of elastases from inflammatory cells or bacteria, or to a genetic deficiency in an elas…
