  5. 4. Sculpted through Time : Evolution and Function of Serine Proteases from the Mast Cell Chymase Locus

    Författare :Maike Gallwitz; Lars Hellman; Lars Pilström; Urban Gullberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Immunology; immune system; mast cell; chymase locus; serine protease; evolution; gene duplication; Immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : Immune cells like NK cells, T cells, neutrophils and mast cells store high amounts of granule serine proteases, graspases. Graspases are encoded from the mast cell chymase locus. The human locus holds four genes: α-chymase, cathepsin G, and granzymes H and B. In contrast, the mouse locus contains at least 14 genes. LÄS MER
