Also known as tryptases

Tryptase () is the most abundant secretory granule-derived serine proteinase contained in mast cells and has been used as a marker for mast cell activation. Club cells contain tryptase, which is believed to be responsible for cleaving the hemagglutinin surface protein of influenza A virus, thereby activating it and causing the symptoms of flu.

La triptasa (EC 3.4.21.59) es la proteinasa de serina derivada del gránulo secretor más abundante que contienen los mastocitos y se ha utilizado como marcador de la activación de los mismos.​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Las células de Clara contienen triptasa, que se cree que es la responsable de escindir la proteína de superficie de la hemaglutinina del virus de la gripe A, activándola así y provocando los síntomas de la gripe ​
