    Glossary Protease

    enzyme that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides

    A protease, also known as a proteinase or peptidase, is an enzyme that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides or amino acids by cleaving the peptide bonds between amino acids. These enzymes play crucial roles in various biological processes, including digestion, immune response, and cell regulation.
