Gene information for CELA2A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID63036
Official gene symbolCELA2A
Full namechymotrypsin-like elastase family, member 2A
Aliases,ELA2A,PE-1,
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 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]
