The epidermolytic toxins are serine proteases [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1990 Certain strains of Staphylococcus aureus usually belonging to phage group II produce epidermolytic toxins (ETA and ETB) which cause intraepidermal splitting in mice, neonates and occasionally adults. Amino acid sequences of ETA and ETB have been reported but the mechanism of epidermolysis remains unknown.

Multifaceted Analyses of Epidermal Serine Protease Activity in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis [PDF]
, 2020 The serine proteases kallikrein-related peptidase (KLK) 5 and KLK7 cleave cell adhesion molecules in the epidermis. Aberrant epidermal serine protease activity is thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD).

Serine proteases, their inhibitors and allergy [PDF]
Allergy, 2006 This paper reviews four serine protease inhibitors and three protease gene defects that are associated with allergic conditions, suggesting an important role for these genes and their products in the development of allergy. Serine protease inhibitors may have a therapeutic potential in the treatment of allergy.

Serine Proteases in Rodent Hippocampus [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998 Brain serine proteases are implicated in developmental processes, synaptic plasticity, and in disorders including Alzheimer's disease. The spectrum of the major enzymes expressed in brain has not been established previously. We now present a systematic study of the serine proteases expressed in adult rat and mouse hippocampus.

A transient inflammatory response contributes to oxaliplatin neurotoxicity in mice
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 1985-1998, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Objectives Peripheral neuropathy is a relevant dose‐limiting adverse event that can affect up to 90% of oncologic patients with colorectal cancer receiving oxaliplatin treatment. The severity of neurotoxicity often leads to dose reduction or even premature cessation of chemotherapy.

Alveolar macrophages play a key role in cockroach-induced allergic inflammation via TNF-α pathway. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The activity of the serine protease in the German cockroach allergen is important to the development of allergic disease. The protease-activated receptor (PAR)-2, which is expressed in numerous cell types in lung tissue, is known to mediate the cellular ...

Identification and characterization of fusolisin, the Fusobacterium nucleatum autotransporter serine protease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Fusobacterium nucleatum is an oral anaerobe associated with periodontal disease, adverse pregnancy outcomes and colorectal carcinoma. A serine endopeptidase of 61-65 kDa capable of damaging host tissue and of inactivating immune effectors was detected ...
