EMILIN3 Gene elastin microfibril interfacer 3 Enables identical protein binding activity. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]
EMILIN1 Gene elastin microfibril interfacer 1 This gene encodes an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that is characterized by an N-terminal microfibril interface domain, a coiled-coiled alpha-helical domain, a collagenous domain and a C-terminal globular C1q domain. The encoded protein associates with elastic fibers at the interface between elastin and microfibrils and may play a role in the development of elastic tissues including large blood vessels, dermis, heart and lung.

ELN Gene elastin This gene encodes a protein that is one of the two components of elastic fibers. Elastic fibers comprise part of the extracellular matrix and confer elasticity to organs and tissues including the heart, skin, lungs, ligaments, and blood vessels. The encoded protein is rich in hydrophobic amino acids such as glycine and proline, which form mobile hydrophobic regions bounded by crosslinks between lysine residues. Degradation products of the encoded protein, known as elastin-derived peptides or elastokines, bind the elastin receptor complex and other receptors and stimulate migration and proliferation of monocytes and skin fibroblasts. Elastokines can also contribute to cancer progression. Deletions and mutations in this gene are associated with supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) and autosomal dominant cutis laxa.

EMILIN2 Gene elastin microfibril interfacer 2 Predicted to enable extracellular matrix constituent conferring elasticity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of angiogenesis; positive regulation of defense response to bacterium; and positive regulation of platelet aggregation. Located in extracellular region. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]
