Identification of potential exosite in cathepsin V necessary for elastin degradation
Besides collagen, elastin is the most common connective tissue structural protein in vertebrates and similar to collagen relatively resistant to non-specific degradation. Typical elastolytic proteases are the serine-dependent pancreatic and leukocyte elastases, the Zn-dependent matrix metalloprot...
