  2. List of enzymes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_enzymes

    Function: Amylase is an enzyme that is responsible for the breaking of the bonds in starches, polysaccharides, and complex carbohydrates to be turned into simple sugars that will be easier to absorb. Clinical Significance: Amylase also has medical history in the use of Pancreatic Enzyme Replacement Therapy (PERT). One of the components is ...

  3. The Proteolysis Map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Proteolysis_Map

    Proteases are a class of enzymes that regulate much of what happens in the human body, both inside the cell and out, by cleaving peptide bonds in proteins.Through this activity, they govern the four essential cell functions: differentiation, motility, division and cell death — and activate important extracellular episodes, such as the biochemical cascade effect in blood clotting.

  4. Enzyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme

    An important function of enzymes is in the digestive systems of animals. Enzymes such as amylases and proteases break down large molecules ( starch or proteins , respectively) into smaller ones, so they can be absorbed by the intestines.

  5. Beta-porphyranase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-porphyranase

    CAZymes are carbohydrate active enzymes that breakdown dietary polysaccharadies and supply the human body with energy. [6] These are absent in the human genome, but gut microbes are able to perform this process. In Japanese individuals the human gut bacterium, Bacteroides plebius, has β-porphyranase via horizontal gene transfer. Seaweed is an ...

  6. Human digestive system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_digestive_system

    The human digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract plus the accessory organs of digestion (the tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder). Digestion involves the breakdown of food into smaller and smaller components, until they can be absorbed and assimilated into the body.

  7. Digestive enzyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestive_enzyme

    The enzymes that are secreted in the stomach are gastric enzymes. The stomach plays a major role in digestion, both in a mechanical sense by mixing and crushing the food, and also in an enzymatic sense, by digesting it. The following are enzymes produced by the stomach and their respective function: Pepsin is the main gastric enzyme.

  8. Metabolic pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_pathway

    The reactants, products, and intermediates of an enzymatic reaction are known as metabolites, which are modified by a sequence of chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes. [1]: 26 In most cases of a metabolic pathway, the product of one enzyme acts as the substrate for the next. However, side products are considered waste and removed from the cell.

  9. Hydrolase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolase

    Hydrolase enzymes are important for the body because they have degradative properties. In lipids, lipases contribute to the breakdown of fats and lipoproteins and other larger molecules into smaller molecules like fatty acids and glycerol. Fatty acids and other small molecules are used for synthesis and as a source of energy. [1]
