Meanings
nounelastinogenesis (uncountable)
- uncountableThe biogenesis of elastin
It has long been documented that LTBP-2 is associated with elastic fibers in developing elastic tissues [8 ] and there is evidence that LTBP-2 may play a negative regulatory role in elastinogenesis, inhibiting tropoelastin interactions with fibulin-5 and heparan sulphate proteoglycans [16 ].
