Where is protease released?
Proteases are currently classified into six broad groups: Serine proteases Threonine proteases Cysteine proteases Aspartate proteases Metalloproteases Glutamic acid proteases. Quote, please, which type of protease are you referring to ?
Why don't proteases act on gut walls and digest?
It is because proteases work only on proteins.
Proteins are broken down into proteases and peptides by proteases in?
Proteases are proteins which cleave other proteins in difference places. There may be other ways that proteins are broken down also.
What is pepstatin?
Pepstatin A is an inhibitor of acid proteases (aspartyl peptidases). It forms a 1:1 complex with proteases such as pepsin, renin, cathepsin D, bovine chymosin, and protease B (Aspergillus niger). The inhibitor is highly selective and does not inhibit thiol proteases, neutral proteases or serine proteases. Solublized Beta-secretase and retroviral protease are also inhibited by Pepstatin A. It has been used to characterize proteases from several sources. Pepstatin A is thought to inhibit by a collected-substrate inhibition mechanism.
Which enzyme the hydrolyzes protein?
Amylase hydrolyzes carbohydrates, lipases breakdown lipids/fats, and proteases break down protein.
