Elastase | '''Elastase''' | ||
Elastase (ELA) is a chymotrypsin-like protease which breaks down proteins. The ELAs are numbered according to their genes. ELA2 (or PMN-ELA) is secreted by neutrophils during inflammation. The images at the left and at the right correspond to one representative Elastase structure, ''i.e.'' human Matrix Metalloproteinase-12 (MMP12), which is macrophage ELA ([[3ba0]]). | Elastase (ELA) is a chymotrypsin-like protease which breaks down proteins.
