Papain, also known as papain, is a protease extracted from the fruit of the papaya. It is a cysteine protease, which means that it contains a sulfhydryl (-SH) group in its active center that is essential for enzyme activity. Papain breaks down proteins into smaller peptides or amino acids by breaking the peptide bonds in the protein molecule. This protein hydrolysis is the basis of papain’s many functions. Papain is an enzyme that breaks down proteins.
