Sentences with word «elastase»
Elastase is a type of enzyme in our bodies that breaks down a protein called elastin. Elastin is found in our skin, blood vessels, and organs, and it helps them stay flexible and stretchy. When there's too much elastase, it can cause damage to our tissues and lead to certain health problems. Full definition
