Pancreatic elastase II (EC 3.4.21.71, pancreatic elastase 2) is an enzyme. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Preferential cleavage: Leu-, Met- and Phe-. Hydrolyses elastin

This peptidase from trypsin family is formed by activation of proelastase II from mammalian pancreas by trypsin.
