Isolation, purification and properties of aortic elastase.
An elastase from pig aorta has been partially purified and characterised; it exhibits immunological cross reaction with pig pancreatic elastase. Its proteolytic (k-elastin gel and polymeric elastin substrates) and esterolytic (N-succinoyl-trialanine paranitroanilide) activities as well as its degree of inhibition by serum protease inhibitors (alpha1-antitrypsin and alpha2-macro-globulin) differ sensibly from those of pancreatic elastase [14,16].
