  • Publication number: 20230240966
    Abstract: Disclosed are compositions comprising one or more enzymes capable of catalysing the hydrolysis of keratinocyte effector molecules such as protein keratins that support the function and integrity of the human skin and its appendages such as the hair follicle that are supported by keratinocytes to maintain the biological barrier, function and struture. The compositions are useful in treating follicular dermatoses and hair follicle-linked conditions, such as Hirsutism and Hidradenitis suppurativa. The compositions may also be used to loosen hair from the skin and thereby be used for removing undesired hair from the human body.

  • Publication number: 20210380667
    Abstract: Disclosed are protease inhibitors capable of inhibiting the protease activity of a S1 or a S8 protease at ambient pH, but where the inhibitor further has a pH dependent binding to the S1 or the S8 inhibitor meaning that a complex of a S1 and a S8 protease and the inhibitor dissociates when pH is lowered to a pH below 6.0, e.g. to a pH value in the range of 4.0 to 6.0; e.g. in the range of 4.5 to 6.0; e.g. in the range of 4.5 to 5.5; whereby the protease activity is released.

  • Patent number: 10619145
    Abstract: The present invention relates to animal feed or animal feed additives comprising polypeptides having protease activity and uses thereof. Specifically, the proteases are serine S1 proteases from Janibacter, Terracoccus and Knoellia, all belonging to the family Intrasporangiaceae of the suborder Micrococcineae. The proteases have a high activity at a broad pH-range (pH 3-7) and are thus highly active during the entire passage through the digestive tract. It also relates to the methods for producing the proteases and for using the proteases to improve animal performance and the nutritional value of animal feed.
