See protease.peptidase (ˈpɛptɪˌdeɪs; -ˌdeɪz) n (Biochemistry) any of a group of proteolytic enzymes that hydrolyse peptides to amino acidspep•ti•dase (ˈpɛp tɪˌdeɪs, -ˌdeɪz) n. any of the class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of peptides or peptones to amino acids. ThesaurusNoun | 1. | peptidase - any enzyme that catalyzes the splitting of proteins into smaller peptide fractions and amino acids by a process known as proteolysisprotease, 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 |
Peptidase
peptidase[′pep·tə‚dās] (biochemistry) An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of peptides to amino acids. Peptidase any one of a group of enzymes of the hydrolase class. Peptidases split off one amino acid at a time from either the carboxylic or the aminic end of protein and peptide molecules. Accordingly, they are classed as either carboxypeptidases or aminopeptidases. Dipeptidases hydrolyze dipeptides. peptidase
peptidase [pep´tĭ-dās] any of a subclass of proteolytic enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide linkages.pep·ti·dase (pep'ti-dās), Any enzyme capable of hydrolyzing a peptide bond of a peptide, for example, carboxypeptidases, aminopeptidases. Synonym(s): peptide hydrolasepeptidase (pĕp′tĭ-dās′, -dāz′)n. See protease.pep·ti·dase (pep'ti-dās) Any enzyme capable of hydrolyzing one of the peptide links of a peptide (e.g., carboxypeptidases, aminopeptidases). peptidase An enzyme that hydrolyses (see HYDROLYSIS) protein fragments (PEPTIDES), breaking them down to AMINO ACIDS.peptidase an enzyme present in PANCREATIC JUICE that releases free AMINO ACIDS from POLYPEPTIDE CHAINS. EXOPEPTIDASES split off terminal amino acids, whereas ENDOPEPTIDASES split links within the chain.peptidase Related to peptidase: signal peptidaseSynonyms for peptidasenoun any enzyme that catalyzes the splitting of proteins into smaller peptide fractions and amino acids by a process known as proteolysisSynonyms- protease
