| cysteine proteinase | <enzyme> An enzyme that destroys proteins by hydrolysis, turning them back into individual amino acids. (09 Oct 1997) |
| cysteine proteinase inhibitors | Exogenous and endogenous compounds which inhibit cysteine proteinases. (12 Dec 1998) |
| proteinase | <enzyme> An enzyme that cleaves protein at positions within the chain. Formally, the enzymes are peptidyl peptide hydrolases, more usually known as proteinases or proteolytic enzymes. (18 Nov 1997) |

| human a1-proteinase inhibitor | A glycoprotein that is the major protease inhibitor of human serum, is synthesised in the liver, and is genetically polymorphic due to the presence of over 20 alleles; individuals appropriately homozygous are deficient in a1-trypsin and are predisposed to pulmonary emphysema and juvenile hepatic cirrhosis because of alterations in the amino acid and sialic acid components of the glycoprotein. A1-Antitrypsin also inhibits thrombin. Synonym: a1-trypsin inhibitor, human a1-proteinase inhibitor. (05 Mar 2000) |
