Description

Application

The solubility of α-elastin has been applied to construction of elastin-mimetic biomaterials.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Oxygen transporter, NO scavenger

Oxygen transporter. The Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺ balance is a physiological indicator of blood oxygenation; deoxygenated hemoglobin accessorizes a feedback loop by reducing nitrite to NO, a vasodilator which enhances blood flow to oxygen-deprived tissues.

Quality

Methemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin content is not determined.

Caution

Since native hemoglobin is readily oxidized in air, these preparations may be predominantly methemoglobin.
