Article Description

The effect of extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) on the activity of cathepsin G (Cat G) was investigated. Heparin inhibited the amidolytic activity of Cat G with some peptidyl substrates, whereas it enhanced the activity with others. The effect on Cat G activity was observed with high M r heparin as well as with fractions of relatively low M r. This is in contrast to the effect of heparin on the activity of human leukocyte elastase (HLE) where the effect was observed only with high M r fractions.
