👉 Chymase is a protein that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of certain amino acids and lipids. It can catalyze the formation of beta-oxidation products from acetyl-CoA, which are the primary energy molecules for many cellular processes. The specific function of chymase is to convert fatty acids into bile acids (cholesterol) and other lipids in the body. This process is essential for the transport, storage, and utilization of fats as a source of energy
