Diagramatic representation of human tropoelastin protein domains. The number of the corresponding exons and the sizes of the domains are shown. The exon numbering system is based upon the bovine elastin gene sequence. The human gene has no exons 34 and 35, while exon 26A is rarely expressed in human tropoelastin. Cross-linking domains are shaded black and hydrophobic domains are white.
