Abstract excerpt
Cathepsin G is a hematopoietic serine protease stored in the azurophil granules of neutrophil granulocytes. The mRNA of cathepsin G is transiently expressed during the promyelocyte stage of neutrophil maturation. The protease plays several roles in inflammatory actions of neutrophils, such as bactericidal effects. A human cathepsin G gene fragment of 6 kb directs a promyelocyte-specific expression in transgenic...
