Classification of mouse submaxillary gland esteroproteases by their substrate specificities. 1989

The submaxillary gland esteroproteases were separated by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and their substrate specificities were determined by histochemical staining procedures using cellulose acetate membranes. Twenty-one proteolytically active enzymes were classified into four groups based on substrate specificities on benzoyl-arginine-ethylester (BAEE), N-alpha-benzoyl-DL-arginine-p-nitroanilide (BAPNA), and poly-L-lysine. These types were further divided into eight subgroups by their sensitivity to inhibitors and androgen dependence. These results suggest that eight groups of esteroproteases are present in the submaxillary gland of male mice.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013363	Submandibular Gland	One of two salivary glands in the neck, located in the space bound by the two bellies of the digastric muscle and the angle of the mandible. It discharges through the submandibular duct. The secretory units are predominantly serous although a few mucous alveoli, some with serous demilunes, occur.
