General description

Proteinase 3 (PR3) is mapped to human chromosome 19p13.3.[1] Proteinase 3 is present majorly in azurophilic granules and belongs to neutrophil-derived proteases family.[2] PR3 is a peripheral membrane protein and lacks transmembrane domain. It comprises of an unique interfacial binding site (IBS) and two amino acid clusters, one charged and one hydrophobic, for membrane association.[3]
Proteinase 3 is found in high concentration in the primary granules of myeloid leukemia blasts. [4]

Application

Proteinase 3 has been shown to be important in the pathogenesis of human emphysema. [5] It has also been used in a study to investigate the liberation of the antibacterial and cytotoxic peptide LL-37 by cleavage of human cathelicidin hCAP-183. [6]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Proteinase 3 (PR-3) is a serine protease expressed in the granules of neutrophils and monocytes. Also known as myeloblastin and p29b, it degrades elastin and is associated with myeloid leukemia and Wegener′s granulomatosis. [7]
Used for the detection of anti-PR3 auto-antibodies in immunoassays.

Unit Definition
