Technical
The following transcription factors affect gene expression:
Tissue specificity:
Basal layers of epidermis (at protein level). Not expressed in the pancreas.
Caution:
In spite of its original name "Pancreatic elastase 1", CELA1 is not detected in the pancreas. Elastase activity described in the pancreas may be in fact due to CELA2A (PubMed:10620133).
Cofactor:
Binds 1 Ca(2+) ion per subunit.
