Gene information for CELA2B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID51032
Official gene symbolCELA2B
Full namechymotrypsin-like elastase family, member 2B
Aliases,ELA2B,MGC142100,MGC142102,MGC97052,
Gene summaryElastases 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 2B is secreted from the pancreas as a zymogen. In other species, elastase 2B has been shown to preferentially cleave proteins after leucine, methionine, and phenylalanine residues. [provided by RefSeq]
