Description
Anti-Elastase antibody detects the Elastase protein. Elastase metabolizes elastin, an elastic fiber, which together with collagen, determines the mechanical properties of connective tissue. The neutrophil form breaks down the Outer membrane protein A (OmpA) of E. coli and other Gram-negative bacteria. Elastase also has the important immunological role of breaking down Shigella virulence factors. This is accomplished through the cleavage of peptide bonds in the target proteins. The specific peptide bonds cleaved are those on the carboxy side of small, hydrophobic amino acids such as glycine, alanine, and valine. This antibody is suitable for researchers investigating biochemistry and stem cells.
