pancreas

Elastase from porcine pancreas is a serine protease derived from the porcine pancreas, consisting of 240 amino acid residues. It has the ability to hydrolyze proteins and peptides, can induce emphysema in hamsters, and is commonly used to establish animal models of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Alloxan Monohydrate is a diabetogenic agent that acts as a proteasome inhibitor and induces diabetes in experimental animals by damaging the insulin-secreting β-cells in the pancreas. It is commonly used to establish diabetes models.
