NE serves as the principal elastin-degrading enzyme but extends well beyond this role to effectively degrade collagen, fibronectin, and various proteoglycans ( Beyond its proteolytic function, PR3 serves as the major autoantigen in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis, conferring special relevance in autoimmune diseases ( CatG exhibits distinctive dual biological characteristics, effectively degrading various extracellular matrix proteins while possessing significant antimicrobial activity
Exposure to chemicals and other pollutants can increase the demand for the bodys antioxidants, while autoimmune diseases have also been shown to deplete glutathione
