Paths reunited: initiation of the classical and lectin pathways of complement activation [PDF]
, 2010 Understanding the structural organisation and mode of action of the initiating complex of the classical pathway of complement activation (C1) has been a central goal in complement biology since its isolation almost 50 years ago.

Cleavage of endogenous gamma ENaC and elevated abundance of alpha ENaC are associated with increased Na+ transport in response to apical fluid volume expansion in human H441 airway epithelial cells [PDF]
, 2011 Using human H441 airway epithelial cells cultured at air–liquid interface (ALI), we have uniquely correlated the functional response to apical fluid volume expansion with the abundance and cleavage of endogenous α- and γENaC proteins in the apical ...

Cloning and characterization of Bombyx mandarina serine protease-like protein
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2014 The complementary deoxyribonucleic acid (cDNA) of Bombyx mandarina serine protease-like protein gene was cloned by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

SjAPI, the first functionally characterized Ascaris-type protease inhibitor from animal venoms. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Serine protease inhibitors act as modulators of serine proteases, playing important roles in protecting animal toxin peptides from degradation. However, all known serine protease inhibitors discovered thus far from animal venom belong to the Kunitz-type ...

Reelin Is a Serine Protease of the Extracellular Matrix [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2002 Reelin is an extracellular matrix protein that plays a pivotal role in development of the central nervous system. Reelin is also expressed in the adult brain, notably in the cerebral cortex, where it might play a role in synaptic plasticity. The mechanism of action of reelin at the molecular level has been the subject of several hypotheses.

A new subfamily of fungal subtilases: structural and functional analysis of a Pleurotus ostreatus member [PDF]
, 2005 Pleurotus ostreatus produces several extracellular proteases which are believed to be involved in the regulation of the ligninolytic activities of this fungus. Recently, purification and characterization of the most abundant P.

Serine proteases, serine protease inhibitors, and protease-activated receptors: Roles in synaptic function and behavior [PDF]
Brain Research, 2011 Serine proteases, serine protease inhibitors, and protease-activated receptors have been intensively investigated in the periphery and their roles in a wide range of processes-coagulation, inflammation, and digestion, for example-have been well characterized (see Coughlin, 2000; Macfarlane et al., 2001; Molinari et al., 2003; Wang et al., 2008; Di Cera,
