Distinguish between collagen and elastin?
Collagenous fibers are the white fibers consisting of the protein collagen, common in connective tissues, including bone matrix as on the other hand Elastin fibers are stretchy yellow connective tissue fibers consisting of the protein elastin.
Is Elastin a lipid?

What cell type is primarily responsible for producing protein fibers found in connective tissue proper?
Elastin Fiber.
The yellow fibers that make connective tissue flexible is called what?

Which glycoprotein is found in connective tissue and walls of arteries?

Can topical elastin become part of native elastin?

What protein is insoluble in water?
