Proteases are protein-digesting enzymes. They are produced in the stomach, pancreas, salivary glands, and small intestine. They break long-chain proteins (polypeptides) into shorter polypeptides and individual amino acids, of which there are around twenty.

Where does you protease work?
Proteases break down protein, usually in the small intestine.
What is the function of peptidase?
Peptidase split peptides into their constituent amino acids;
What is the formula for protease?
Protease is an enzyme. It is essentially a protein. Protease is not a compound and therefore its formula cannot be given out. Protease are a class of enzymes involved in digesting proteins. The basic mode of action can be described as: Protein + Protease -----> Digested protein + protease Since enzymes do not react in a biochemical reaction (they are merely catalysis), protease appears on both sides of the reaction shown above
What are examples of enzymes in living things?
amylase cellulase lactase lipase maltase protease sucrase they all have there particular function in the human body
Is protease an enzyme?
No, there is a great difference between lipaseand protease. lipase: digest fats and oils into glycerol and fatty acids. protease: digest protein into amino acids.

What are protease enymes?
The protease enzyme helps in the breakdown of proteins present in a cell
What evidence is there that protease enzyme came from a human?
Protease enzme came from a human.
What does protease do?
Protease is an enzyme that breaks down proteins to amino acids and peptides.
Is neurotoxin or protease more dangerous?
Though they are both inhibitors, I would say Protease.
What essential nutrient does protease break down?
A protease is an enzyme that breaks down protein.
What is the names of the enzymes in the small intestine?
Amylase, Protease And Lipase
