Serratiopeptidase (Serratia E-15 protease also known as serralysin serratiapeptase serratia peptidase serratio peptidase or serrapeptidase) is a proteolytic enzyme (protease) produced by enterobacterium Serratia sp.

(intestine) Serratiopeptidase is present in the silkworm intestine and allows the emerging moth to dissolve its cocoon.
