Application
Chymase has been implicated in generation of angiotensin II and cleavage of big endothelin. Studies indicate it may be involved in vascular proliferation, myocardial infarction and dermatitis.
Human chymase has been used in a study to assess the effects of Panax notoginseng flower extract on the TGF-β/Smad signal transduction pathway in heart remodeling. Human chymase has also been used in a study to investigate the blood glucose level and survival in streptozotocin-treated human chymase transgenic mice.
Biochem/physiol Actions
The enzyme rapidly converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Optimum pH for the enzyme activity is between 7.5 and 9.0. Enzyme activity is inhibited by soybean trypsin inhibitor, phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and chymostatin.[1]
Physical properties
Chymase is a cathepsin G-like, S1 serine proteinase found primarily in mast cells. It has a molecular mass of ~30 kDa, however its apparent molecular mass on SDS-PAGE is around 37 kDa.
Unit Definition
One unit hydrolyzes one micromole of N-benzoyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester (BTEE) per minute at pH 7.8 and 25 °C. The assay buffer used to determine the enzyme activity contains 27 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.8, with 150 mM NaCl and 0.43 mM BTEE.
Physical form
Supplied as a solution in 20 mM Tris, 0.8 M NaCl and 25% glycerol, pH 7.6

During infection and tissue damage, virulence factors and alarmins are pro-inflammatory and induce activation of various immune cells including macrophages and mast cells (MCs). Activated MCs instantly release preformed inflammatory mediators, including several proteases. The chymase mouse mast cell protease

HDL particles may enter atherosclerotic lesions having an acidic intimal fluid. Therefore, we investigated whether acidic pH would affect their structural and functional properties. For this purpose, HDL(2) and HDL(3) subfractions were incubated for various periods of time at different

We previously established a mast cell (MC)-dependent thermal injury model in mice with ulceration and scar formation that depended on nonredundant functions of mouse MC protease (mMCP)4 and mMCP5. We hypothesized that MC activation is an early event and now

Mast cells have been linked to osteoporosis and bone fractures, and in a previous study we found that mice lacking a major mast cell protease, chymase, develop increased diaphyseal bone mass. These findings introduce the possibility that mast cell chymase
