Function
May be involved in tissue injury and remodeling. Has significant elastolytic activity. Can accept large and small amino acids at the P1' site, but has a preference for leucine. Aromatic or hydrophobic residues are preferred at the P1 site, with small hydrophobic residues (preferably alanine) occupying P3. -
Tissue specificity
Found in alveolar macrophages but not in peripheral blood monocytes. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the peptidase M10A family.
Contains 4 hemopexin-like domains. -
Domain
The conserved cysteine present in the cysteine-switch motif binds the catalytic zinc ion, thus inhibiting the enzyme. The dissociation of the cysteine from the zinc ion upon the activation-peptide release activates the enzyme. -
Cellular localization
Secreted > extracellular space > extracellular matrix. - Information by UniProt
