Unchecked by SLPI, elastase will degrade these proteins, causing a breakdown in the tissue matrix.

That, he said, makes it hard to believe the acid would have any effect on elastase, melanin or cell regeneration.

- A pancreatic enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of elastin
- In molecular biology, elastase is an enzyme from the class of proteases (peptidases) that breaks down proteins.
- An enzyme that can destroy the protein elastin.
- Serine protease that will digest elastin and collagen
- An enzyme found in fluids produced by the pancreas. It aids in the digestion of several proteins, including elastin, an elastic substance in the lungs and other organs that is part of their structural framework. Normally, elastase is inhibited by a substance called alpha-1 antitrypsin.
- Breaks down elastin, an elastic fibre that, together with collagen, determines the mechanical properties of connective tissue.
