Myeloblastin (EC 3.4.21.76, leukocyte proteinase 3, leukocyte proteinase 4, proteinase PR-3, proteinase-3 , PMNL proteinase) is an enzyme. [1] [2] [3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction: Hydrolysis of proteins, including elastin, by preferential cleavage: -Ala- > -Val-
This enzyme is present in polymorphonuclear leukocyte granules. Downregulation of myeloblastin in promyelocytic leukemia cells was shown to induce their growth arrest and differentiation. [4]
