Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP13388
Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name Chymotrypsin-like elastase family member 2A
Synonyms
  1. Elastase-2
  2. Elastase-2A
Gene Name CELA2A
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific 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.
