The Chymase, Mouse Mast Cell Protease 4, Constitutes the Major Chymotrypsin-like Activity in Peritoneum and Ear Tissue. A Role for Mouse Mast Cell Protease 4 in Thrombin Regulation and Fibronectin Turnover
To gain insight into the biological role of mast cell chymase we have generated a mouse strain with a targeted deletion in the gene for mast cell protease 4 (mMCP-4), the mouse chymase that has the closest relationship to the human chymase in terms of tissue localization and functional properties.
