Lung Mast Cells Have a High Constitutive Expression of Carboxypeptidase A3 mRNA That Is Independent from Granule-Stored CPA3

Premkumar Siddhuraj et al.

Summary: This study investigated the expression of CPA3 mRNA and protein in different mast cell populations in healthy skin, gut, and lung tissues. MCTC cells had higher frequency and intensity of CPA3 protein-containing cells compared to MCT population. The lung mast cells showed the highest mean CPA3 mRNA staining, while alveolar MCT population had uniquely high CPA3 mRNA intensity despite lacking CPA3 protein.

Duodenases are a small subfamily of ruminant intestinal serine proteases that have undergone a remarkable diversification in cleavage specificity

Zhirong Fu et al.

Summary: Ruminants have developed a complex digestive system through gene duplications, particularly in the lysozyme c locus and chymase locus. The duplication of genes within these loci has allowed for flexibility in the ruminant digestive system, leading to specialization in food digestion.
