- | [[Elastase]] (ELA) is a chymotrypsin-like serine protease which breaks down proteins. The ELAs are numbered according to their genes. Panceatic ELA cleaves proteins at the carboxyl-terminal side of small neutral amino acids. It cleaves Ala-Ala and Ala-Gly bonds. <ref>PMID:12059069</ref> For additional details see [[Serine Proteases]]. | + | [[Elastase]] (ELA) is a chymotrypsin-like serine protease which breaks down proteins.
