elafin; elastase-specific inhibitor; ESI; peptidase inhibitor 3; PI-3; protease inhibitor WAP3; skin-derived antileukoproteinase; SKALP; WAP four-disulfide core domain protein 14 (PI3, WAP3, WFDC14)

Function: - neutrophil & pancreatic elastase-specific inhibitor of skin - may prevent elastase-mediated tissue proteolysis Structure: - consists of two domains: - the transglutaminase substrate domain (cementoin moiety) serves as an anchor to localize elafin covalently to specific sites on extracellular matrix proteins - elastase inhibitor domain - contains 1 WAP domain Compartment: secreted

General
