protease
pro·te·ase P0611900 (prō′tē-ās′, -āz′)n. Any of various enzymes, including the endopeptidases and exopeptidases, that catalyze the hydrolytic breakdown of proteins. Also called peptidase.protease (ˈprəʊtɪˌeɪs) n (Biochemistry) any enzyme involved in proteolysis[C20: from protein + -ase]pro•te•ase (ˈproʊ tiˌeɪs, -ˌeɪz)
n. any of a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolytic degradation of proteins or polypeptides to smaller amino acid polymers. [1900–05; prote (in) + -ase] pro·te·ase (prō′tē-ās′) Any of various enzymes that bring about the breakdown of proteins into peptides or amino acids by hydrolysis. Pepsin is an example of a protease.Thesaurus| Noun | 1. | protease - any enzyme that catalyzes the splitting of proteins into smaller peptide fractions and amino acids by a process known as proteolysispeptidase, proteinase, proteolytic enzymecaspase - any of a group of proteases that mediate apoptosisenzyme - any of several complex proteins that are produced by cells and act as catalysts in specific biochemical reactionsangiotensin converting enzyme, angiotensin-converting enzyme, ACE - proteolytic enzyme that converts angiotensin I into angiotensin IIplasminogen activator, urokinase - protease produced in the kidney that converts plasminogen to plasmin and so initiates fibrinolysisrenin - a proteolytic enzyme secreted by the kidneys; catalyzes the formation of angiotensin and thus affects blood pressure |
Translations
protease
protease[′prōd·ē‚ās] (cell and molecular biology) An enzyme that digests proteins. protease
endopeptidase [en″do-pep´tĭ-dās] any peptidase that catalyzes the cleavage of internal bonds in a polypeptide or protein. Inhibition of the action of endopeptidases (proteases) in viruses causes formation of noninfectious particles; certain antiviral drugs work in this way (see inhibitors" >protease inhibitors). Called also protease and proteinase.pro·te·ase (prō'tē-āz), Descriptive term for proteolytic enzymes, both endopeptidases and exopeptidases; enzymes that hydrolyze (break) polypeptide chains.protease (prō′tē-ās′, -āz′)n. Any of various enzymes, including the endopeptidases and exopeptidases, that catalyze the hydrolytic breakdown of proteins. Also called peptidase.pro·te·ase (prō'tē-ās) Descriptive term for proteolytic enzymes, both endopeptidases and exopeptidases; enzymes that hydrolyze (i.e., break) polypeptide chains. protease One of a range of protein-splitting enzymes. One focus of current interest in proteases is in their role in breaking down tissue barriers in the spread of cancer. High concentrations of the activator of one of these proteases has been found to be associated with a poor outlook in cancers of the colon and rectum.protease any enzyme that splits proteins, such as PEPSIN, TRYPSIN, EREPSIN or RENNIN.protease
