Function |
Tryptase is the major neutral protease present in mast cells and is secreted upon the coupled activation-degranulation response of this cell type. Has an immunoprotective role during bacterial infection. Required to efficiently combat K.pneumoniae infection (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Location |
Secreted. Note=Released from the secretory granules upon mast cell activation.
