HOMOLOGY

interspecies

homolog to murine Cma1

Homologene

FAMILY	trypsin family
	granzyme subfamily
	peptidase family S1

CATEGORY

enzyme

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic,granule

basic FUNCTION	serine protease, cleaving chymotrypsin
	degradation of the extracellular matrix, regulation of submucosal gland secretion, and generation of vasoactive peptides
	largely responsible in the heart and blood vessels, for converting angiotensin I to the vasoactive peptide angiotensin II
	activated human skin mast cells (MCs) convert CTAP-III into biologically active NAP-2 through proteolytic cleavage by released chymase

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

digestion

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	chymotrypsin
	Human mast cell chymase caused conjunctival epithelial cell detachment by degrading fibronectin, and this led to secondary apoptosis
