Elastin peptide is the main component of elastic fibers. Elastic fibers mainly exist in ligaments and vascular walls. Elastic fibers and collagen fibers coexist, endowing tissues with elasticity and tensile strength.
Elastin peptide is the main component of elastic fibers in raw skin tissue. The peptide chain of elastin peptide contains 713 or more amino acid residues. Unlike collagen and keratin, elastin peptides do not have continuous repetitive periodic structures throughout the entire peptide chain in their amino acid sequence, but instead have alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic segments. Chains and open chain chains formed from oxidized lysine are unique cross-linking structures of elastin peptides.
Elastin peptides form elastic fibers, which are fibers with rubber like elasticity that can be stretched several times and restored to their original state. They are the main factor in the elasticity of connective tissue, hence the nickname "human rubber". Elastic fibers and collagen fibers coexist, endowing tissues with elasticity and tensile strength. Elastin peptides are not as widely distributed as collagen, but they are also abundant in tissues such as elastic tissues, lungs, large arteries, certain ligaments, skin, and ear cartilage.
