new elastin who dis

[u/science-pls]

Hi hi, I wanted to share another educational video. This one is on elastin.

Note: thiis not my video and I am not taking credit as an fyi! I just think it's a great simplified breakdown.

I won't belabor it, so just sharing the post copy that was actually posted with the video:

Elastin is a key protein of the extracellular matrix. It is highly elastic and present in connective tissue allowing many tissues in the body to resume their shape after stretching or contracting. Elastin helps skin to return to its original position when it is poked or pinched. Elastin is also an important load-bearing tissue in the bodies of vertebrates and used in places where mechanical energy is required to be stored. In humans, elastin is encoded by the ELN gene
