Proteases are enzymes that can be released from various organs and cells in the body, such as the pancreas, stomach, and immune cells like neutrophils and macrophages. They are important for breaking down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids to aid in digestion, immune response, and other physiological processes.
The type of molecule that is an enzyme is a protein molecule.
Proteases are enzymes that break down proteins. They are typically soluble in water and have an optimal pH range for activity. Proteases can vary in size and structure, ranging from small single-chain enzymes to large multi-subunit complexes.

Some contact lens solutions may contain proteases as a disinfectant agent to help break down and remove protein deposits that can accumulate on the lens surface. These proteases help to keep the lenses clean and maintain their clarity and comfort for wearers.
Bromelain is a type of enzyme found in pineapples. It is a protein-digesting enzyme that belongs to a class of enzymes called proteases.

They are important for breaking down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids to aid in digestion, immune response, and other physiological processes.
Proteases break down proteins into peptides by cleaving the peptide bonds that hold amino acids together in a protein molecule. This process of protein digestion is essential for the body to absorb and utilize the amino acids from proteins for various biological functions. Peptides are shorter chains of amino acids that are further broken down into individual amino acids by proteases for absorption and utilization in cellular processes.
It is because proteases work only on proteins.
Pepstatin A is an inhibitor of acid proteases (aspartyl peptidases). It forms a 1:1 complex with proteases such as pepsin, renin, cathepsin D, bovine chymosin, and protease B (Aspergillus niger). The inhibitor is highly selective and does not inhibit thiol proteases, neutral proteases or serine proteases. Solublized Beta-secretase and retroviral protease are also inhibited by Pepstatin A. It has been used to characterize proteases from several sources. Pepstatin A is thought to inhibit by a collected-substrate inhibition mechanism.

Proteases
Kallikreins are biological enzymes of the peptidase (or protease) group. They cleave the peptide bonds in proteins. More specifically, they are "serine" proteases because they cleave the peptide bond at a site in the protein where there is a serine (an amino acid) molecule.
