An enzyme that breaks down butyrin and other butyric acid compounds into smaller molecules.
From butyrin + -ase suffix (standard enzyme nomenclature denoting proteins that catalyze reactions). The -ase ending comes from enzyme naming conventions.
Enzymes ending in -ase are like biological scissors—butyrinase cuts up butyrin molecules, and your body uses hundreds of similar -ase enzymes to disassemble food into pieces small enough to absorb!
