Gene information for CELA1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1990
Official gene symbolCELA1
Full namechymotrypsin-like elastase family, member 1
Aliases,ELA1,
Gene summaryElastases form a subfamily of serine proteases that hydrolyze many proteins in addition to elastin. Humans have six elastase genes which encode the structurally similar proteins elastase 1, 2, 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B. Unlike other elastases, pancreatic elastase 1 is not expressed in the pancreas. To date, elastase 1 expression has only been detected in skin keratinocytes. Clinical literature that describes human elastase 1 activity in the pancreas or fecal material is actually referring to chymotrypsin-like elastase family, member 3B. [provided by RefSeq]
