Endopeptidase, Exopeptidase Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) is a huge controlled vocabulary (or metadata system) for the purpose of indexing journal articles and books in the life sciences. ... In biochemistry, a hydrolase is an enzyme that can break a chemical bond by hydrolysis. ... Proteases (proteinases, peptidases, or proteolytic enzymes) are enzymes that break peptide bonds between amino acids of proteins. ... Peptidases (proteases [pronounced pro-tea-aces] and proteolytic enzymes are also commonly used) are enzymes which break peptide bonds of proteins. ... An exopeptidase is an enzyme that catalyses the removal of an amino acid from the end of a polypeptide chain. ...

Trypsin (EC 3. ... Protein Crystal Growth Porcine Elastase In molecular biology, elastase is an enzyme from the class of proteases (or better peptidases) that break down proteins. ... Plasmin is an important degrading enzyme (EC 3. ... Proteinase 3 is a serine protease enzyme expressed mainly in neutrophil granulocytes. ...

Cysteine protease: Papain, Cathepsin, Caspase, Calpain Proteases are enzymes that degrade polypeptides. ... Papain is a protease enzyme (EC 3. ... A cathepsin is a type of protease, ie a type of protein that breaks apart other proteins. ... Caspases are a group of cysteine proteases, enzymes with a crucial cysteine residue that can cleave other proteins after an aspartic acid residue, a specificity which is unusual among proteases. ... Calpain is calcium-dependent, non-lysosomal proteolytic enzyme found in the brain (Castillo and Babson, 1998). ...

Metalloproteinase: Procollagen peptidase, Thermolysin, ADAM protein (ADAMTS2, ADAMTS13, ADAMTS5, ADAM17), Matrix metalloproteinase (Collagenase) The metalloendopeptidases (also called metalloproteinases or metalloproteases) are a class of enzymes from the group of endopeptidases. ... Procollagen peptidase is an endopeptidase involved in the processing of collagen. ... Adam protein (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase Protein) is a type of peptidase protein. ... ADAMTS2 (ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 2) is a gene that produces an enzyme that is responsible for processing several types of procollagen proteins. ... ADAMTS13 (A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with a ThromboSpondin type 1 motif, member 13) is a zinc-containing metalloprotease enzyme that cleaves von Willebrand factor (vWf), a large protein involved in blood clotting. ... ADAMTS5 is an enzyme that destroys cartilage in mice. ... Physical Characteristics The ADAM metallopeptidase domain 17(ADAM17) also called TACE is an enzyme that belongs to the ADAM Protein (A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease) family. ... Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-dependent endopeptidases; other family members are adamalysins, serralysins, and astacins. ...
