Digestion of elastin by porcine pancreatic elastase I and elastase II
International Journal of Peptide and Protein Research, 1985Elastin was fully solubilized by digestion with elastase I or elastase II. Each digest was separated into high‐molecular weight and low‐molecular weight fractions that were characterized by the correspondence to their amino acid content, N‐terminal sequence and C‐terminal amino acids. It was found that although the relative amount of amino acids in the

This article surveys elastinolytic proteinases in man, excluding enzymes of the pancreas and digestive tract. Special emphasis is placed on the elastase of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN). The properties of this latter enzyme, its target molecules in plasma and connective tissues, and its endogenous regulators are briefly discussed.

Elastases are proteinases capable of solubilizing fibrous elastin. They may belong to the class of serine proteinases, cysteine proteinases and metalloproteinases. Mammalian elastases occur mainly in the pancreas and the phagocytes. Among non-mammalian elastases there is a great variety of bacterial metallo and serine elastases.

Solubilized elastin as a substrate for elastase and elastase inhibitor determinations
Biochemical Medicine, 1971Abstract This paper describes a test for elastase which employs oxalic acid-solubilized elastin as the substrate. The test described is more sensitive than those using insoluble elastin-dye complexes and more specific than the recently introduced tests using synthetic peptide-esters.

[Elastase anti-elastase imbalance in the pathogenesis of COPD].
Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine, 1999Elastase anti-elastase imbalance theory is most important in the pathogenesis of COPD (pulmonary emphysema). Proteolytic activity of neutrophil elastase (NE) plays an important role because of the detachment of cells through proteolysis of extracellular matrix. In addition to proteolytic activity of NE, NE-induced activation of intracellular signaling (
