Elastin-like polypepxide (ELP) is a synthetic polypepxide polymer derived from natural elastin. elastin-like polypepxide (ELP) has a special temperature responsiveness, which shows a reversible phase transition in response to temperature, and this temperature-sensitive property can be fully preserved when it is coupled with other small molecules or pepxides. ELP and ELP fusion proteins can be artificially synthesised with the help of genetic engineering to precisely regulate the structure and function of ELP and to add reactive amino acids or pepxides to its sequence. Meanwhile, ELP is composed of natural amino acids, which are biocompatible, easily biodegradable, low immunogenicity and non-toxic. Based on the above advantages, ELPs have been widely used in biomedical fields such as protein expression and purification, in vitro diagnostics, drug delivery and tissue engineering.

Elastin is the main component of elastic fibres. Elastic fibres are found mainly in ligaments and in the walls of veins. Together with collagen fibres, elastin gives the tissue its elasticity and tensile strength.
Although elastin accounts for only 2% of the total dermal protein, it plays an important role in skin elasticity.
Elastin is the main cause of sagging, drooping and fine wrinkles in aging skin. As the skin ages naturally, elastin fibres break down more and more significantly, and by the age of 70, most elastin fibres are affected.
