abstract：:Human lung tryptase (HLT), a trypsin-like serine proteinase stored as an active enzyme in association with heparin in mast cell granules, is released into the extracellular environment when mast cells are activated. Tryptases are unusual in that they form tetramers and bind heparin. As there are no known endogenous tr...
