Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Protease enzymes are responsible for breaking down proteins inside the cell. An intracellular deficiency of protease would interfere with protein degradation, leading to a buildup of proteins that cannot be properly broken down and recycled by the cell. This could lead to a variety of cellular dysfunction and disease. Alcohol metabolism, autophagy, and glycogenolysis are not directly affected by a deficiency of protease.
