Abstract

Summary An established endothelial cell culture line synthesizes and secretes into the medium a soluble protein of molecular weight approximately 75, 000 that has other properties (e.g., hydroxyproline and valylproline dipeptide contents and solubility in propanol-butanol) identifying it as elastin. This protein is extractable from the washed cell layer. It is found in the medium in lower concentration together with characteristic lower molecular weight degradation products. No insoluble elastin could be detected.
