Identification of domains in apoA-I susceptible to proteolysis by mast cell chymase: implications for HDL function

When stimulated, rat serosal mast cells degranulate and secrete a cytoplasmic neutral protease, chymase. We studied the fragmentation of apolipoprotein (apo) A-I during proteolysis of HDL3 by chymase, and examined how chymase-dependent proteolysis interfered with the binding of eight murine monoclon...
