Papain is a natural enzyme, a kind of endopeptidese containing hydrosulfide group (-SH),extracted from the milky juice of the unripe papaya by biotechnology. It has strong ability of hydrolyzing protein and can be used for improving the nutritional value or function of the plants and the animal protein.
Papaya extract contains papain is resistance to cancer, tumor, lymphatic leukemia, bacteria and parasite, tubercle bacillus; Papaya extract is good for gall, and they can kill pains and help with digestion.-Papaya extract is also helpful to treat gynecopathy, glaucoma, and hyperosteogeny, heal wounds from gunshots or knife cuts;identify blood type, and treat insect stings.

6. Leather Industry
Can make depilating agent, tanned leather with papain.
In Textile industry, can be used to treatment wool, Silk refining, can have functions of soft handfee, comfortable, resistance to contraction and etc.
7. Cell Culture
Papain in preparation for the cell cultures (cell culture) the first step, in be used to separate cells. Hydrolysis processing small tissue mass after 10 minutes, you can connect to the cells of the extracellular matrix interrupt; Then use protease inhibitors to stop reaction, to prevent further papain cracking cells themselves; With the Pasteur pipette will organize piece of features into single cell suspension.
8. Immunology
In immunology, papain can be used to will be immune globulin (i.e. antibody) Fc footage (can crystallization) and Fab footage (the antigen) cut open.
