Elastin
Elastin is an important protein in tissues such as arteries, lungs, bladder, skin and cartilage. All these tissues require elasticity; therefore, Elastin serves as the protein that aids in elasticity. Roughly, Elastin is 1000 times more resilient and flexible than collagen. Mutations in the protein coding region of elastin will cause Beuren Syndrome
