Myeloblastin (EC3.4.21.76,leukocyte proteinase 3,leukocyte proteinase 4,proteinase PR-3,proteinase-3,PMNL proteinase) is anenzyme.[1][2][3] This enzymecatalyses the followingchemical reaction:Hydrolysis of proteins, includingelastin, by preferential cleavage: -Ala- > -Val-
This enzyme is present in polymorphonuclearleukocyte granules. Downregulation of myeloblastin in promyelocytic leukemia cells was shown to induce their growth arrest and differentiation.[4]
