Pancrelipase protease

Pancrelipase, in general, is composed of a mixture of pancreatic enzymes which include amylases, lipases, and proteases. These enzymes are extracted from porcine pancreatic glands. The pancrelipase protease is a mix of enzymes, formed by trypsin and chymotrypsin, that proteolytically cleave peptide bonds and are involved in food digestion. The pancrelipase mixture, including pancrelipase protease, was developed by Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc and FDA approved on April 12, 2010.
