General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
metabolism | neutrophil elastase (NE) and matrix metalloproteinase 12 (MMP12) activity is increased at the surface of bronchoalveolar neutrophils and macrophages and is associated with structural lung damage in betaENaC-Tg mice | Mus musculus |
physiological function | macrophage elastase (matrix metalloproteinase 12, MMP12) is an additional protease contributing to early lung damage in betaENaC-overexpressing (betaENaC-Tg) mice, suffering cystic fibrosis (CF)-like lung disease, besides neutrophil elastatse (EC 3.4.21.37). MMP12 contributes to structural lung damage in mice with CF-like lung disease | Mus musculus |
