Elastase (EC 3.4.21.36) is a serine protease produced by the pancreas that catalyzes cleavage of carboxyl groups present on small hydrophobic amino acids, such as glycine, alanine, and valine. Its primary role is the breakdown of elastin, a protein that imparts elasticity to connective tissue. There are up to eight genes that encode elastase or …

Utredning av eksokrin pankreassvikt, for eksempel ved kronisk pankreatitt. Bakgrunn. Elastase er et fordøyelsesenzym som produseres i pankreas og skilles eksokrint ut i duodenum ved måltider.
Abstract. 1. The amino acid composition and N-terminal groups of purified elastase show that it is a single peptide chain of 234 residues.2. The N-terminal sequence is Val-Val-Gly-Gly-Thr-Glu-.3. The sequences around the four disulphide bridges were determined by using a `diagonal'' electrophoretic technique.

Natural bioactive compounds are of general interest to pharmaceutical research because they may be used as leads in drug development campaigns. Among them, scyptolin A and B from Scytonema hofmanni PCC 7110 are known to inhibit porcine pancreatic elastase, which in turn resembles the attractive drug target neutrophil elastase. The crystal structure of …
Proteolytic Digest— The proteolytic treatment represents a modified version of the specific integral membrane peptide level enrichment as described previously ().One hundred micrograms of PM were washed using 25 m m NH 4 HCO 3 buffer (pH 8.0).

Human pancreatic elastase 1 (E1) is a glycoprotein containing two potential N-glycosylation sites, one of which carries a carbohydrate moiety [Wendorf, Geyer, Sziegoleit & Linder (1989) FEBS Lett. 249, 275-278]. In order to study its glycosylation, ...
Elastic fibers are composed of an elastin core and a microfibrillar mantle (Figure 1).Elastogenesis, the process of elastic fiber formation, is initiated by the assembly of fibrillin microfibrils, which serve as a scaffold for elastin deposition (Thomson et al. Citation 2019).Translation of TE mRNA occurs on the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
