tropoelastin การใช้

Tropoelastin does not undergo cleavage and formation of the microfibril is achieved by a self-association process termed coacervation.
It interacts with and inhibits the catalytic activity of LOX, preventing the crosslink of tropoelastin molecules into mature insoluble elastin.
A synthetic form of human tropoelastin is made by DermaPlus Products from genetically modified organisms for use in wound healing and topical skin care.
The association with these matrix structures is mediated by its ability to interact with numerous extracellular matrix constituents including fibronectin, proteoglycans, laminins and tropoelastin.
They have overlapping binding sites for several basement-membrane proteins, tropoelastin, fibrillin, fibronectin and proteoglycans, and they participate in diverse supramolecular structures.
