In Digestion. Where is the enzyme protease made and were is it used?

Protease are a group of enzymes whose catalytic function is to hydrolyze (breakdown) peptide bonds of proteins; also called proteolytic enzymes or proteinases. Proteases differ in their ability to hydrolyze various peptide bonds. Each type of protease has a specific kind of peptide bonds it breaks. Examples of proteases include: fungal protease, pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, papain, bromelain, and subtilisin. Proteolytic enzymes breakdown the protein foods to liberate the amino acids needed by the body. Proteolytic enzymes have been used for a long time in various forms of therapy and several clinical studies are indicating their benefits in oncology, inflammatory conditions, blood rheology control, and immune regulation.
