Elastase molecule and pancreas. Computer model of elastase, an enzyme produced in the pancreas (orange). Elastase catalyses the hydrolysis of elastin.
Elastase molecule and pancreas. Computer model of elastase, an enzyme produced in the pancreas (orange). Elastase catalyses the hydrolysis of elastin. It is a compact globular protein consisting of a single polypeptide chain of 240 amino acids, which are cross-linked by 4 disulphide bridges. The pancreas is a gland that lies behind the stomach. It secretes pancreatic juice that contains digestive enzymes & hormones.
