In molecular biology, elastase is an enzyme from the class of proteases (peptidases) that break down proteins. == Forms and classification== Eight human genes exist for elastase: Some bacteria (including Pseudomonas aeruginosa) also produce elastase. In bacteria, elastase is considered a virulence factor. == Function == Elastase breaks down elasti...
