- Any enzyme that catalyzes the splitting of proteins into smaller peptide fractions and amino acids by a process known as proteolysis
- (Proteases (medical and related uses)) Proteases (also sometimes referred to as proteolytic enzymes or peptidases) are in use, or have been proposed or tried, for a number of purposes related to medicine or surgery. ...
- (Proteases) Trypsin, chymotrypsin, elastase, etc.
- (proteases) enzymes which break down proteins. An example is bromelain, found in raw pineapple. Some proteases have been found to stimulate the immune system.
- A protein that digests other proteins.
