Chymase
Definition:
EC Tree > 3 Hydrolases > 3.4 Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases) > 3.4.21 Serine endopeptidases > 3.4.21.39 chymase
Chymase is a mast-cell-granule serine protease in family S1 that preferentially cleaves Phe over Tyr, Trp and Leu bonds. By generating angiotensin II and degrading extracellular matrix it drives allergic inflammation and tissue remodelling. It appears in viruses and cellular organisms.
