Recombinant Human Tropoelastin

Recombinant Human Tropoelastin is the precursor to elastin, a structural protein made by crosslinking together the water soluble tropoelastin molecules. Elastin provides strength and elasticity and is the main constituent of elastic connective tissue. It allows the tissue to resume its shape after contracting or stretching and is found in the skin, heart, blood vessels, lungs, ligaments, and the bladder.

Tropoelastin is supplied as a recombinant lyophilized protein and can be used to coat cell culture surfaces to enhance cell attachment and promote spreading.
