Did you mean Serine Protease?

GlossarySerine Protease

enzyme that breaks down proteins by cleaving peptide bonds

Serine proteases, also known as serine endopeptidases, are a group of enzymes that break down proteins by cleaving peptide bonds. They are named for the serine residue in their active site, which plays a crucial role in the catalytic process. These enzymes are involved in various biological processes, including digestion, immune response, and blood coagulation.
