Pineapple contains a proteolytic enzyme (a protease) called bromelain.

For your information another fruit which has enzymes that degrade protein is

Papaya, and the protease is called papain.

Thus both of these fruits are good in marinades.

Where would the instructions be found Liver cell must create a protein to carry it's fats through the body.?

The instructions for creating the protein would be found in the liver cell's DNA, specifically in the gene that codes for the protein. The DNA will be transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), which will then be translated into the protein by ribosomes in the cell. This process is known as protein synthesis.
