Trypsin-like serine proteases are crucial for cardiovascular health, impacting processes from blood clotting to cardiac function. This review explores their roles in diseases like hypertension and heart failure.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Cardiovascular Biology
  • Enzymology

Background:

  • Serine proteases of the trypsin superfamily are vital enzymes with diverse biological roles.
  • Their significance in cardiovascular processes like coagulation, platelet activation, fibrinolysis, and thrombosis is well-documented.
  • Emerging research highlights their role in maintaining cardiac function and contributing to cardiovascular diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the biological functions of specific trypsin-like serine proteases.
  • To discuss the involvement of these enzymes in various cardiovascular diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on serine proteases in cardiovascular biology.
  • Focus on corin, tissue kallikrein, chymase, and urokinase.
