- It breaks down proteins into smaller peptide chains and amino acids through a process known as proteolysis.
- There are several types of proteases, For example
- Trypsin
- Chymotrypsin
- Pepsin
- Papain etc.
| Protease | Location | Function |
| Trypsin | Small Intestine | Digests proteins into smaller peptides |
| Chymotrypsin | Pancreas, Small Intestine | Cleaves proteins into smaller peptide fragments |
| Pepsin | Stomach | Breaks down proteins into smaller peptides |
| Papain | Derived from papaya | Used as a meat tenderizer and digestive aid |
| Bromelain | Derived from pineapple | Assists in protein digestion |
| Cathepsins | Lysosomes, various tissues | Involved in intracellular protein turnover |
| Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) | Extracellular matrix, various tissues | Regulate tissue remodeling and repair |
| Caspases | Involved in apoptosis | Responsible for programmed cell death |
