NCBI Description
Elastases form a subfamily of serine proteases that hydrolyze many proteins in addition to elastin. Humans have six elastase genes which encode the structurally similar proteins elastase 1, 2, 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B. Unlike other elastases, pancreatic elastase 1 is not expressed in the pancreas. To date, elastase 1 expression has only been detected in skin keratinocytes. Clinical literature that describes human elastase 1 activity in the pancreas or fecal material is actually referring to chymotrypsin-like elastase family, member 3B. [provided by RefSeq, May 2009]

Product Notes
The ELA1 cela1 (Catalog #
AAA6147009) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The ELA1 (Chymotrypsin-like Elastase Family Member 1, Elastase-1, Pancreatic Elastase 1, CELA1) (FITC) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's ELA1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Paraffin, Western Blot (WB). IHC-P: 3ug/ml Applications are based on unconjugated antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the ELA1 cela1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process.
It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of
"ELA1, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of
the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always
suggest centrifuging these vials
to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to
opening. Please be advised that
certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an
additional dry ice fee may also be
required.
