Summary

PMID 18772136

[Homo sapiens] ELANE is a pro-inflammatory protease that regulates IL8 production from airway epithelial cells and can activate both EGFR and TLR4.

PMID 18802098

[Homo sapiens] ELANE mediates innate host protection against Pseudomonas aeruginosa by degrading the major outer membrane protein F, a protein involved in porin activity, maintenance of structural integrity, and sensing of host immune system activation.

PMID 20676107

[Homo sapiens] ELANE and CTSG, together with externalized nucleosomes, promote coagulation and intravascular thrombus growth in vivo. During systemic infection, activation of coagulation fosters compartmentalization of bacteria in liver microvessels and reduces bacterial invasion into tissue.

Entrez Gene

Summary

This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000197561:
Elastases form a subfamily of serine proteases that hydrolyze many proteins in addition to elastin. Humans have six elastase genes which encode the structurally similar proteins. The product of this gene hydrolyzes proteins within specialized neutrophil lysosomes, called azurophil granules, as well as proteins of the extracellular matrix following the protein's release from activated neutrophils. The enzyme may play a role in degenerative and inflammatory diseases by its proteolysis of collagen-IV and elastin of the extracellular matrix. This protein degrades the outer membrane protein A (OmpA) of E. coli as well as the virulence factors of such bacteria as Shigella, Salmonella and Yersinia. Mutations in this gene are associated with cyclic neutropenia and severe congenital neutropenia (SCN). This gene is clustered with other serine protease gene family members, azurocidin 1 and proteinase 3 genes, at chromosome 19pter. All 3 genes are expressed coordinately and their protein products are packaged together into azurophil granules during neutrophil differentiation. [provided by RefSeq, May 2009]
