[f. L. resil-īre to jump back, recoil, resile + -in1.]
An elastic material formed of cross-linked protein chains that is found in the cuticles of many species of insect, notably forming the hinges and ligaments of wings.
1960New Scientist 14 July 104/1 Resilin is a protein of a new kind in which the protein chains are cross-linked by means of bonds of a new sort which are resistant to tryptic digestion. 1960T. Weis-Fogh in Jrnl. Exper. Biol. XXXVII. 889 The main conclusion is that the characteristic elasticity is caused by a peculiar protein, called resilin, which differs from other structural proteins also in respect of amino acid composition. 1961Bailey & Weis-Fogh in Biochimica & Biophysica Acta XLVIII. 453 We therefore propose to name it resilin, derived from the Latin resilire, i.e. to spring back (pronounced rez'ilin). (We are indebted to Professor D. S. Robertson, Cambridge, who suggested the name.) 1969R. F. Chapman Insects xxii. 435 Resilin contains various amino acids including two previously unknown ones which provide the links between the protein chains. 1970Nature 26 Dec. 1338/1 Resilin is a significant structural component of the sucking pump in many different insects. 1973Sci. Amer. Nov. 92/3 The flea's leap is powered not by muscle alone but is assisted by the elastic protein resilin. |
