No difference. Proteinase is the proper term, but protease has become a
widely accepted alternative.

Difference between protease and proteinase?
Proteases: Any of various enzymes, including the endopeptidases and exopeptidases, that catalyze the hydrolytic breakdown of proteins into peptides or amino acids. Poteinases: A protease that begins the hydrolytic breakdown of proteins, usually by splitting them into polypeptide chains. It is also a synonym of endopeptidases (e.g. pepsin, trypsin, or papain). Note: Protease - endo- & exo- peptidases; Catalyze hydrolytic breakdown Proteinase - endo-peptidases; Begins hydrolytic breakdown by splitting
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 is the function of Proteinase K in DNA extraction?
Proteinase K is most often used in extracting DNA from while blood cells (or leukocytes). The first step in DNA isolation is to break open the cell and release the cytoplasmic contents, which includes the nucleus, in which we find DNA. Proteinase K is a protease (an enzyme capable of digesting proteins). It is used to digest the cell surface proteins. When cell surface proteins are digested, the integrity of the cell membrane is compromised leading to cell lysis (or the breaking open of the cell)
What is the difference between exoenzyme and an endoenzyme?
exoenzymes are present outside the cell(e.g; cellulose, protease) whereas endoenzymes are present inside the cell at the site of synthesis.(e.g; ligase)
What is an antiproteinase?
An antiproteinase is an inhibitor of proteinase activity.
Is pepsin a proteinase?
u just lost the game
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 is the function of proteinase?
This an enzyme which helps to break down proteins.
What has the author Edward A Fox written?
Edward A. Fox has written: 'Isolation and characterization of a proteinase inhibitor II gene from Lycopersicon esculentum' -- subject(s): Enzyme inhibitors, Genetics, Proteinase, Tomatoes
What does protease producE?
Protease breaks down Protein into amino acids
Where does the activation of proteinase inhibitor genes occur?
In the nucleus of the affected cells.
What are protease enymes?
The protease enzyme helps in the breakdown of proteins present in a cell
