Human cationic, pancreatic elastase in acute pancreatitis
Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 1993Immunoreactive cationic pancreatic elastase (irPE) in serum and peritoneal exudate from 8 patients with severe acute pancreatitis was found mainly in complex with alpha-1-proteinase-inhibitor (alpha 1PI). Only minor amounts of irPE were found in a molecular form corresponding to the free proenzyme. The presence of alpha-2-macroglobulin (alpha 2M)-bound,

Inhibitors of pancreatic and leukocyte elastase
Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 1987The following alkylamides of ω-carboxyalkanoyldi- and tripeptides of the Ala-Pro or Ala-Ala-Pro sequence have been prepared: ethylamide-, propylamide-, and isobutylamide of 3-carboxypropionylalanyl-proline, ethylamide of 3-carboxypropionylalanyl-alanyl-proline and ethylamide-, propylamide, and isobutylamide of 4-carboxybutyrylalanyl-alanyl-proline. The

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on porcine pancreatic elastase. The ability of elastase to degrade elastin forms the basis for many assay methods that involve the measurement of the amount of insoluble elastin solubilized by elastase digestion in a certain time.

Purification and characterization of ovine pancreatic elastase
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1998Elastase was isolated from ovine pancreas and purified to homogeneity by two different procedures. One involved precipitation with ammonium sulphate, p-aminobenzamidine-Sepharose chromatography, CM-Sepharose ion exchange chromatography and S-300 Sephacryl chromatography.

Distribution of pancreatic elastase and metalloproteinase in vertebrates
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1986Elastase-like enzymes were detected as zymogens in all of the pancreatic extracts from the gummy shark, bullhead shark, angel shark, smooth hammerhead, bestel, rainbow trout, carp, eel, Japanese mackerel, yellowtail, sea bass, parrotfish, bullfrog, chicken, bluewhite dolphin, hog, rat, cat, and dog.

ELISA for human pancreatic elastase 1
Clinical Biochemistry, 1989A sandwich-type ELISA for human pancreatic elastase 1 was developed and assessed for clinical feasibility. Using highly purified reagents, the test seems to be as sensitive and specific as the well-documented Radio-immunoassay (RIA) for the detection of elevated elastase 1 serum levels and, consequently, would have the same indications described for ...

Elastase Activity in Human Pancreatic Secretions
Nature, 1962IN 1949, Balo and Banga1 first reported the isolation of the pancreatic enzyme elastase, which was unique in its ability to render soluble elastin (an important structural component of arteries, veins, skin and lung). This enzyme was first believed to be mucolytic in action, but it is now established that it is also a potent proteolytic agent2.

Effect of Pancreatic Elastase on Diabetic Nephropathy [PDF]
Diabetes Care, 1993 Pancreatic elastase has been shown to inhibit the thickening of glomerular basement membranes in experimental diabetic animals. We explored the clinical significance of the prolonged administration of pancreatic elastase on diabetic nephropathy, in patients whose blood glucose levels and blood pressure were controlled.

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
