Biological function summary
The target plays a significant role in neutrophil-mediated tissue remodeling and host defense. It leads to the breaking down of extracellular matrix components contributing to tissue remodeling and repair. Neutrophil Elastase is part of a complex interplay with other proteases like matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Its activity is regulated by endogenous inhibitors such as alpha-1 antitrypsin to prevent excessive tissue damage.
Pathways
This protease is important in inflammation and immune response pathways. It plays a role in the complement system by activating C5 a component of the complement cascade. It also acts in conjunction with other proteases such as cathepsin G to modulate immune and inflammatory responses. Neutrophil Elastase's role within these pathways is pivotal for the regulation of inflammation and destruction of pathogens.

General info
Function
Serine protease that modifies the functions of natural killer cells, monocytes and granulocytes. Inhibits C5a-dependent neutrophil enzyme release and chemotaxis (PubMed : 15140022). Promotes cleavage of GSDMB, thereby inhibiting pyroptosis (PubMed : 36899106). Promotes blood coagulation (PubMed : 20676107). Through the activation of the platelet fibrinogen receptor integrin alpha-IIb/beta-3, potentiates platelet aggregation induced by a threshold concentration of cathepsin G (CTSG) (PubMed : 25211214, PubMed : 9111081). Cleaves and thus inactivates tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) (PubMed : 20676107, PubMed : 25211214). Capable of killing E.coli but not S.aureus in vitro; digests outer membrane protein A (ompA) in E.coli and K.pneumoniae (PubMed : 10947984).
