Other Names | Chymotrypsin-like elastase family member 2A, Elastase-2A, CELA2A, ELA2A |
Target/Specificity | This CELA2A antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 231-260 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human CELA2A. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | CELA2A Antibody (C-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | CELA2A (HGNC:24609) |
---|---|
Synonyms | ELA2A |
Function | Elastase that enhances insulin signaling and might have a physiologic role in cellular glucose metabolism. Circulates in plasma and reduces platelet hyperactivation, triggers both insulin secretion and degradation, and increases insulin sensitivity. |
Cellular Location | Secreted. |
Tissue Location | Expressed in pancreas. Not detected in keratinocytes (PubMed:10620133). Detected in exocrine secretions of the pancreas (at protein level). Also expressed in a small fraction of cells in pancreatic islets, adrenal cortex, intestinal glands and colonic lymphoid follicles (at protein level) (PubMed:31358993) Detected in plasma (PubMed:31358993). |

Background
Elastases 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. Like most of the human elastases, elastase 2A is secreted from the pancreas as a zymogen. In other species, elastase 2A has been shown to preferentially cleave proteins after leucine, methionine, and phenylalanine residues.
