Description

Description générale

Research area: Cell Signaling

Cathepsin G is stored in its active form in azurophil granules of neutrophils or monocytes. Its mature form contains one potential glycan-binding site and three disulfide bonds.

Application

Cathepsin G, Human Neutrophil has been used to determine the in vitro bactericidal activities of cathepsin G and for in vitro digestion of plasma/acute wound fluids.

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

This protease cleaves the triple-helix structure of type I collagen in a restricted manner and degrades nonhelical regions of type I and II collagens, fibronectin, aggrecan, and elastin. Additionally, cathepsin G activates ProMMP-3 and -8. Cathepsin G serves as a chemoattractant for human phagocytes and enhances the random motility of T cells. Additionally, it initiates chemotaxis, activates ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK, and facilitates the translocation of PKCζ to the cell membrane, without inducing a detectable calcium flux. Other biological functions of cathepsin G include: ECM components and plasma proteins degradation, bactericidal actions, cleavage of inflammatory mediators, conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, platelet activation and induction of airway submucosal gland secretion.
