What's the difference between pancreas and steapsin?
Pancreas
Definition:
(n.) The sweetbread, a gland connected with the intestine of nearly all vertebrates. It is usually elongated and light-colored, and its secretion, called the pancreatic juice, is discharged, often together with the bile, into the upper part of the intestines, and is a powerful aid in digestion. See Illust. of Digestive apparatus.
Example Sentences:
(1) The authors report 4 new cases of heterotopic pancreas in children with prepyloric, jejunal, Meckel's diverticulum and mesenteric localization.

(11) The large number of pancreas tests recommended today shows that no single method is satisfactory.
(12) The BT-PABA test could be useful for evaluating the progressive decrease in exocrine pancreatic function and residual radiation injury to the pancreas.
(13) This work undertakes the study of changes in urinary, plasmatic and tissue levels of Thromboxane B2 (TXB2) as well as in tissue Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) after pancreas transplantation and the effect of superoxide dismutase (SOD) on these changes.
(14) A study was carried out to evaluate the effects of direct cooling on the exocrine pancreas.

(16) We are reporting the case of a 23-yr-old patient who had recurring episodes of acute pancreatitis characterized by the typical abdominal pain, elevated serum levels of pancreatic enzymes, and enlargement of the pancreas and edema on sonogram.
(17) High activities were detected in liver, kidney and spleen, and much lower activities in adrenals, intestine, lung, heart, brain, skeletal muscle and pancreas.
(18) Two normal variants that could be confused with abnormalities were noted: (a) the featureless appearance of the duodenal bulb may be mistaken for extravasation, and (b) contrastmaterial filling of the proximal jejunal loop at an end-to-end anastomosis with retained invaginated pancreas may be mistaken for intussusception.

(20) We have found FLT4 expression in human placenta, lung, heart, and kidney, whereas the pancreas and brain appeared to contain very little if any FLT4 RNA.
Steapsin
Definition:
(n.) An unorganized ferment or enzyme present in pancreatic juice. It decomposes neutral fats into glycerin and fatty acids.
Example Sentences:
(1) The methods, which involved digestion of membrane with Steapsin, a crude pancreatic extract containing diastase and trypsin, gel filtration and preparative electrophoresis on polyacrylamide, provided an enzyme with a high specific activity in good yield.
(2) Aggregates were formed when clear supernatants from hepatic microsomes that had been treated with steapsin were desalted and concentrated.
(3) The enzyme lacks NADPH dehydrogenase activity and is insensitive to treatment with 2-bromo-4'-nitroacetophenone and steapsin: it catalyses N-oxidation of imipramine, trimethylamine and NN-dimethylaniline in molar proportions considerably different from those of the cytochrome P-450-supported reactions.
(4) Comparisons are made among detergent-solubilized and protease (steapsin)-solubilized preparations of porcine liver reductases, showing unequivocally that the 31P NMR signals at approximately 0.0 ppm in the detergent-solubilized, hydrophobic form are attributable to phospholipids.
(5) The solubilized microsomal fraction treated with steapsin lost the reductase activity for hexadecanal but not that for cytochrome c. These results suggest that the aldehyde reductase in brain microsomes is identical to NADPH-cytochrome c reductase and that a hydrophobic portion of the NADPH-cytochrome c reductase is required for the reduction of hexadecanal.
(6) NAD+ glycohydrolase (NAD+ nucleosidase, EC 3.2.2.6) can be solubilized from calf spleen microsomes (microsomal fractions) by steapsin or by detergents to yield respectively a hydrophilic (i.e.
