Wikipedia
Elastin
Elastin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ELN gene. Elastin is a key component of the extracellular matrix in gnathostomes (jawed vertebrates). It is highly elastic and present in connective tissue allowing many tissues in the body to resume their shape after stretching or contracting. Elastin helps skin to return to its original position when it is poked or pinched. Elastin is also an important load-bearing tissue in the bodies of vertebrates and used in places where mechanical energy is required to be stored.

elastin
Elastin is a highly elastic protein in connective tissue that allows many tissues in the body to resume their shape after stretching or contracting. It helps skin to return to its original position when it is poked or pinched, and is also an important component in many other parts of the body, including the lungs, arteries, and the elastic ligaments of the spine. It assists in enabling various bodily structures to stretch and relax, promoting flexibility and resilience.
