Tryptase Regulates the Epigenetic Modification of Core Histones in Mast Cell Leukemia Cells

Mast cells are immune cells that store large amounts of mast cell-restricted proteases in their secretory granules, including tryptase, chymase and carboxypeptidase A3. In mouse mast cells, it has been shown that tryptase, in addition to its canonical location in secretory granules, can be found in...

Tryptase Regulates the Epigenetic Modification of Core Histones in Mast Cell Leukemia Cells
