STAINING SUMMARY
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
CELA2A (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
ELA2A
Description
Chymotrypsin-like elastase family, member 2A (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Elastases form a subfamily of serine proteases that hydrolyze many proteins in addition to elastin. Humans have six elastase genes which encode the structurally similar proteins elastase 1, 2, 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B. Like most of the human elastases, elastase 2A is secreted from the pancreas as a zymogen. In other species, elastase 2A has been shown to preferentially cleave proteins after leucine, methionine, and phenylalanine residues. [provided by RefSeq, May 2009]
