The biosynthesis of tropoelastin in chick and pig tissues
Connective Tissue Research
|January 1, 1981
Abstract:
The cell-free translation of elastin mRNA's from different tissues as well as different animal sources was investigated. In all cases elastin mRNA's coding for both tropoelastin a and b were found. Of special significance was the finding that the ratio of the two tropoelastins varied between lung and aortic tissues and this observation was consistent for two animal species.
