Summary: Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including insulin catabolic process; regulation of insulin secretion; and response to insulin. Predicted to be located in extracellular region and keratohyalin granule. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in abdominal obesity-metabolic syndrome 4. Orthologous to several human genes including CELA2A (chymotrypsin like elastase 2A).

What's a GeneRIF?

Suggest that elastase-2 may contribute as an alternative pathway for ANG II generation when ACE is inhibited in the rat vascular tissue.
Title: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition augments the expression of rat elastase-2, an angiotensin II-forming enzyme.
Analysis of rat mesenteric arterial bed elastase-2, expressed in mesenteric arteries and lung but not in aorta, reveals primary structural features that could contribute to the lack of activity of this enzyme toward angiotensin II.
Title: Molecular cloning and sequencing of the cDNA for rat mesenteric arterial bed elastase-2, an angiotensin II-forming enzyme.
the fact that cultured mesenteric arterial bed endothelial cells are capable of producing and secreting elastase-2 represent strong evidence of a physiological role for this enzyme in the rat vasculature.
Title: Functional role, cellular source, and tissue distribution of rat elastase-2, an angiotensin II-forming enzyme.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
