Summary: Enables extracellular matrix constituent conferring elasticity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to L-ascorbic acid; cellular response to dexamethasone stimulus; and cellular response to retinoic acid. Located in extracellular space. Used to study abdominal aortic aneurysm. Biomarker of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease; bladder neck obstruction; congenital diaphragmatic hernia; liver cirrhosis; and silicosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Williams-Beuren syndrome; aortic disease (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); cutis laxa (multiple); and retinal disease (multiple). Orthologous to human ELN (elastin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
