Elastin Peptide is the protein responsible for the resilience of vertebrate tissue. Elastin Peptide is an extremely stable protein deposited during the early stages of life and experiencing almost no renewal. As a consequence, Elastin Peptides can be considered that each individual has an elastin capital for life. Despite its extreme stability, elastin can be degraded by several enzymes termed elastases. Elastases are among the most aggressive proteas, and their presence is increased with age. As a consequence, elastin fragmentation resulting in the generation of elastin peptides is one of the hallmarks of aging. This review will examine their nature and further expose our current understanding of the role played by these peptides in aging and their contribution to tissue homeostasis and several pathologies.
Skin aging can be roughly divided into natural aging (that is, getting older) and photoaging (mainly referring to ultraviolet radiation). In the natural aging process, the elastic fibers in the body will be degraded. Although elastic fiber is particularly stable, there is still an enzyme in the human body that can degrade it, called elastase. This enzyme is inhibited when we are young. As we get older, there are fewer and fewer inhibitors that can inhibit elastase. At the same time, the activity of elastase will become stronger and stronger.
Therefore, this This balance is gradually destroyed, and the elastic fibers are gradually degraded under the action of elastase. Why does ultraviolet radiation cause the degradation of elastic fibers? This is because ultraviolet radiation can cause the degeneration of elastic fibers, which leads to their easy degradation; more importantly, ultraviolet radiation causes local blood vessel dilation, congestion and even inflammation in the skin, and white blood cells in the body will gather and secrete elastase, which accelerates the elastic fibers degradation.
