Macrophage elastase (EC 3.4.24.65, metalloelastase, human macrophage metalloelastase (HME)) is an enzyme.[1][2][3][4] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- Hydrolysis of soluble and insoluble elastin. Specific cleavages are also produced at -Ala14-Leu- and -Tyr16-Leu- in the B chain of insulin
This enzyme belongs to the peptidase family M10.
