What Does PPE Stand For?
PPE stands for Porcine Pancreatic Elastase
PPE, or Porcine Pancreatic Elastase, is an enzyme derived from the pancreas of pigs, primarily involved in the digestion of proteins. It is commonly utilized in various clinical and research applications, particularly in the evaluation of pancreatic function and the diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Due to its ability to break down elastin and other proteins, PPE serves as a valuable tool in biochemical studies and therapeutic investigations.
