#protease__peptidase__proteinase__proteolytic_enzyme__proteolyticenzyme any enzyme that catalyzes the splitting of proteins into smaller peptide fractions and amino acids by a process known as proteolysis
supertype: #enzyme any of several complex proteins that are produced by cells and act as catalysts in specific biochemical reactions
subtype: #caspase any of a group of proteases that mediate apoptosis
subtype: #angiotensin_converting_enzyme proteolytic enzyme that converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II
subtype: #plasminogen_activator__plasminogenactivator__urokinase protease produced in the kidney that converts plasminogen to plasmin and so initiates fibrinolysis
subtype: #renin a proteolytic enzyme secreted by the kidneys; catalyzes the formation of angiotensin and thus affects blood pressure
