Gelatinase

In biology and chemistry, gelatinase is a proteolytic enzyme that allows a living organism to hydrolyse gelatin[1] into its sub-compounds (polypeptides, peptides, and amino acids) that can cross the cell membrane and be used by the organism. It is not a pepsin.

Animal biology

Forms of gelatinases are expressed in several bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Serratia marcescens.

In humans, the gelatinases are matrix metalloproteinases MMP2 and MMP9. Gelatinase is secreted by the stomach.

gollark: Can I have that bot for heavserver purposes?

gollark: Why don't ALL bots do this?!

gollark: I mean, it lets you pass structured/listy data to commands more easily.

gollark: Actually this is a really good and not bad* idea.

gollark: `(sys test on)` you.
