Expansion of the mast cell chymase locus over the past 200 million years of mammalian evolution.

Immunogenetics - 1 Aug 2006

Gallwitz Maike, Reimer Jenny M, Hellman Lars

Abstract excerpt

The acidic granules of natural killer (NK) cells, T cells, mast cells, and neutrophils store large amounts of serine proteases. Functionally, these proteases are involved, e.g., in the induction of apoptosis, the recruitment of inflammatory cells, and the remodeling of extra-cellular matrix. Amon...
