Peptidases cut at either end of the proteins, whereas proteinases cut inside the protein chains.  These can also be broken down into two categories: digestive and systemic, based on whether they can be absorbed into the bloodstream.&nbsp;  This article will focus on digestive proteolytic enzymes and protein digestion. To learn more about the inflammation-balancing benefits of systemic proteolytic enzymes, check out our systemic enzymes article."}
