Use of CHYMASEChymase is a protein-digester enzyme found primarily in mast cells (MC), fibroblasts, and vascular endothelial cells. Chymase is released into the extracellular stroma in the context of inflammatory signals, tissue injury and cellular stress. Chymase is also involved in angiotensin II (Ang II) production, which is used in cardiovascular disease studies[1]. |

Heparanase-mediated cleavage of macromolecular heparin accelerates release of granular components of mast cells from extracellular matrices.
Biochem. J. 458(2) , 291-9, (2014) Heparanase cleaves macromolecular heparin in the secretory granules of connective tissue-type mast cells. We investigated roles of the cleavage under a microenvironment mimicking where the mast cells ... |
