Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
ELISA: 1/1000 - 1/2000.
IHC-Fr: 1/50 - 1/200.
IHC-P: 1/50 - 1/200.
WB: 1/200 - 1/500. Predicted molecular weight: 68 kDa.

In many cases, antigenicity of elastic fiber components can be enhanced by treating with 6 M guanidine HCl, 50 mM dithiothreitol, 20 mM Tris pH 8.0 for 15 minutes. After washing with 20 mM Tris pH 8.0, the slides are treated with 100 mM iodoacetamide in the dark for 15 minutes, washed and stained using normal protocols.

Not tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Relevance 

Elastin is a major structural protein of tissues such as aorta, which must expand rapidly and recover completely. Elastin chains are cross-linked together into an extensible 3D network. It is a molecular determinant of late arterial morphogenesis, stabilizing arterial structure by regulating proliferation and organization of vascular smooth muscle. Elastin forms a complex with BGN and MFAP2.
Defects in elastin are a cause of autosomal dominant cutis laxa. Cutis laxa is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by loose, hyperextensible skin with decreased resilience leading to a premature aged appearance. This may be accompanied by pulmonary emphysema, bladder diverticula, pulmonary artery stenosis and pyloric stenosis.
