本系统可用于检测体外培养细胞新合成的弹性蛋白单体。从主动脉等软组织和软骨组织中提取的交联弹性蛋白经热草酸处理后也可以应用本系统进行检测。
The
Fastin™ Elastin Assay is a quantitative dye-binding method for the analysis of elastins released into tissue culture medium and extracted from biological materials.
Elastin forms that can be measured by the Fastin Assay as α-elastin:
- soluble tropoelastins;
- lathyrogenic elastins;
- insoluble elastins (following solubilization to elastin polypeptides [α-elastin, κ-elastin])
