Insulin-degrading enzyme
Insulin-degrading enzyme, also known as IDE, is an enzyme.
Known alternatively as insulysin or insulin protease, IDE is a large zinc-binding protease of the M16A metalloprotease subfamily known to cleave multiple short polypeptides that vary considerably in sequence.

Insulysin
Insulysin () (Also called "insulinase", "insulin-degrading enzyme", "insulin protease", "insulin proteinase", "insulin-degrading neutral proteinase", "insulin-specific protease", "insulin-glucagon protease", "metalloinsulinase", "IDE") is an enzyme. This enzyme catalyses the degradation reaction of insulin, glucagon and other polypeptides. 
This cytosolic enzyme is present in mammals and in many arthropods such as the fly "Drosophila melanogaster".
