Pancreatic elastase is a form of
elastase that is
produced in the
acinar cells of the pancreas,
initially produced as an
inactive zymogen and
later activated...
- 'moderate' EPI is when
fecal elastase levels are <200 ug/g,
whereas 'severe' EPI is
considered to be when
fecal elastase levels is <100 ug/g. The exocrine...
- Chymotrypsin-like
elastase family member 3B also
known as
elastase-3B,
protease E, or
fecal elastase is an
enzyme that in
humans is
encoded by the CELA3B...
- only
binds to
neutrophil elastase from
inflammatory cells but also to
elastase on the cell surface. In this
latter role,
elastase acts as a
signaling molecule...

environmental dust. The
underlying mechanism involves unblocked neutrophil elastase and
buildup of
abnormal A1AT in the liver. It is
autosomal co-dominant...
- [citation needed] In
alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency, the
important neutrophil elastase is not
adequately inhibited by
