Structure, chromosomal assignment, and deduced amino acid sequence of a human gene for mast cell chymase
1 Jul 1991
Abstract excerpt
A gene encoding human chymase was cloned and sequenced. The protein-coding exons reveal a preproenzyme with a 19-amino acid signal peptide, an acidic 2-amino acid propeptide, and a 226-amino acid catalytic domain. The mature enzyme is predicted to be cationic (net charge of +13) and to be modified by N-glycosylation at two sites. The amino acid sequence is identical to the 35 residues of NH2-terminal amino acid...
