Altered bladder function in transgenic mice expressing rat elastin.

Abstract excerpt

The elasticity of tissues subjected to repeated deformation is provided by the presence of elastic fibers in the extracellular matrix (ECM). The most abundant component of elastic fibers is elastin, whose soluble precursor is tropoelastin. To establish the role elastin plays in the bladder, this study describes the biosynthetic, histologic, and physiologic consequences of expression of an isoform of rat...
