Abstract

Proteases comprise a vital group of proteolytic enzymes with variety of functions. These enzymes possess the enormous commercial potential and have been used in several industrial processes, including food industry, leather processing, detergent industry and therapeutic applications. As well as they are used as an environmental pollution cleaning agent. Proteases are the replacement of conventional method of silver recovery from the X-ray films. Among the microbial enzymes only proteases constitute approximately 60% of the total industrial enzyme market and stand amongst the most precious commercial enzymes. Fungal proteases are more dominant for commercial application as these microorganisms are more resistant to harsh climatic circumstances and produces enzymes in their habitats. Proteases are classified according to their site of action, functional group present on active site, origin, and pH.

Keywords: Fungal proteases, environmental pollution, proteolytic enzyme, therapeutic, food industry, leather processing
