Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is one of the three most abundant prostatic-secreted proteins in human semen. It is a serine proteinase that, in its primary structure, manifests extensive similarities with that of the Arg-restricted glandular kallikrein ...

Camostat Does Not Inhibit the Proteolytic Activity of Neutrophil Serine Proteases
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can lead to multi-organ failure influenced by comorbidities and age. Binding of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spike protein (SARS-CoV-2 S protein) to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), along ...

Paradigm of biased PAR1 (protease-activated receptor-1) activation and inhibition in endothelial cells dissected by phosphoproteomics [PDF]
Thrombin is the key serine protease of the coagulation cascade and mediates cellular responses by activation of PARs (protease-activated receptors). The predominant thrombin receptor is PAR1, and in endothelial cells (ECs), thrombin dynamically regulates

Degradation of human kininogens with the release of kinin peptides by extracellular proteinases of Candida spp. [PDF]
The secretion of proteolytic enzymes by pathogenic microorganisms is one of the most successful strategies used by pathogens to colonize and infect the host organism.

Vaccinia virus encodes a family of genes with homology to serine proteinase inhibitors.
Nucleotide sequencing of a region of the vaccinia virus genome proximal to the right inverted terminal repeat (ITR) identified two open reading frames (ORFs) encoding proteins of 39K and 40K with amino acid homology to each other, to another vaccinia ...

Identification and purification of a novel serine proteinase inhibitor
We report the identification, purification, and partial amino acid sequence of a novel serine proteinase inhibitor which is present in extracts from human placentas and in the cytosolic fraction of the leukemic cell line K562. Extracts from these tissues exhibited time-dependent inhibition of the serine proteinase thrombin.

Adhesive and degradative properties of human placental cytotrophoblast cells in vitro. [PDF]
Human fetal development depends on the embryo rapidly gaining access to the maternal circulation. The trophoblast cells that form the fetal portion of the human placenta have solved this problem by transiently exhibiting certain tumor-like properties ...
