Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Elastin antibody [10B8] (AB77804)

ab77804 staining dog lung sections by IHC-P. The tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and a heat mediated antigen retrival step was performed with citric acid pH 6. Blocking of the sample was done with 1% BSA for 10 minutes, followed by staining with ab77804 at 1/100 in TBS/BSA/azide for 2h at 21°C. A biotinylated goat anti-mouse polyclonal antibody at 1/200 was used as the secondary antibody.

Supplementary information

Elastin also known as elastin protein is an essential component of the extracellular matrix known for imparting elasticity and resilience to tissues. With a molecular mass of approximately 60-70 kDa some scientists may also refer to it as elastin et. Elastin is expressed in elastic tissues such as the skin lungs and blood vessels. These tissues require the elastic properties provided by elastin. Additionally elastin forms the core of elastic fibers surrounded by a sheath of microfibrils.
Biological function summary

Elastin provides mechanical support and elasticity to tissues. It does so by being part of elastic fibers playing an important role in many connective tissue structures. The unique ability to stretch and return to its original shape allows tissues to resume their shape after stretching or contracting. Elastin is not part of larger protein complexes but interacts with other matrix proteins such as fibrillin to form a fibrous network required for the structural integrity of elastic tissues.

Pathways

Elastin plays an integral role in the extracellular matrix remodeling pathway which is important for maintaining tissue structure and function. It also participates in the TGF-beta signaling pathway where elastin interacts indirectly with proteins such as fibrillin-1 and fibulin. These interactions influence cellular processes like proliferation and differentiation highlighting elastin's involvement in both maintaining tissue elasticity and cell signaling.

Elastin is linked to pathologies like Williams-Beuren syndrome and cutis laxa. Williams-Beuren syndrome associated with elastin deletions leads to cardiovascular issues while cutis laxa results in reduced elasticity of the skin due to elastin mutations. In these conditions elastin interacts with proteins such as fibrillin and fibulin contributing to the observed clinical manifestations. Understanding these interactions helps in diagnosing and developing therapeutic approaches for such disorders.
