Nonspecific protease and elastase activities in rat leukocytes [PDF]
Inflammation, 1982 Extracts were prepared from rat peritoneal leukocytes obtained 4 h after glycogen injection and assayed for proteolytic enzyme activities against various substrates. The substrates used included acid-denatured bovine hemoglobin, bovine serum albumin, a partially purified preparation of rat pulmonary basement membrane, bovine neck ligament elastin, and ...

Different behaviour of the N-terminal and C-terminal fragment of proatrial natriuretic factor in plasma of healthy subjects as well as of patients with cirrhosis [PDF]
, 1990 N-terminal (atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) 1-98) and C-terminal (ANF 99-126) fragments of proatrial natriuretic factor (NTA and CTA, respectively) were determined in plasma of healthy subjects adopting different postures and in patients with cirrhosis ...

Receptor‐mediated binding of leukocyte elastase by chondrocytes [PDF]
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1987 AbstractStudies on the effect of leukocyte elastase on the metabolism of chondrocytes in culture have demonstrated that these cells possess a specific cell surface receptor for leukocyte‐derived elastase. Purified elastase from rabbit and human leukocytes is capable of modulating the metabolism of the cell by causing a marked decrease in both ...

Elastase and tryptase govern TNFα-mediated production of active chemerin by adipocytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Chemerin is a leukocyte chemoattractant and adipokine with important immune and metabolic roles. Chemerin, secreted in an inactive form prochemerin, undergoes C-terminal proteolytic cleavage to generate active chemerin, a ligand for the chemokine-like ...
