Neutrophil-derived Oxidants and Proteinases as Immunomodulatory Mediators in Inflammation
Mediators of Inflammation, 1994 Neutrophils generate potent microbicidal molecules via the oxygen-dependent pathway, leading to the generation of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI), and via the non-oxygen dependent pathway, consisting in the release of serine proteinases and ...

Identification, classification and expression pattern analysis of sugarcane cysteine proteinases
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2001 Cysteine proteases are peptidyl hydrolyses dependent on a cysteine residue at the active center. The physical and chemical properties of cysteine proteases have been extensively characterized, but their precise biological functions have not yet been ...

Digestive proteinases from marine organisms and their applications [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2008 Fish viscera have wide biotechnological potential as a source of digestive enzymes, especially proteinases. The biological diversity of fish species provides a wide array of enzymes with unique properties. Fish digestive proteolytic enzymes most commonly

A confederacy of proteinases [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2002 The demolition of large buildings can be accomplished by a single explosive agent destroying a single class of structural components, namely weight-bearing beams. Although the breakdown of tissues in disease has often been conceived to occur in an analogous manner, with a single proteinase degrading a single structural ECM protein, it has become clear ...

Differential Expression and Localization of ADAMTS Proteinases in Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy
Molecules, 2022 We analyzed the expression of ADAMTS proteinases ADAMTS-1, -2, -4, -5 and -13; their activating enzyme MMP-15; and the degradation products of proteoglycan substrates versican and biglycan in an ocular microenvironment of proliferative diabetic ...
