Recently, some of the worker defined keratinase as serine protease due to its 97% sequence homology with alkaline protease and it is also inhibited by the same inhibitor that inhibits serine protease. Keratinases are produced only in the presence of keratin containing substrate. It mainly attacks on the disulfide bond of the keratin substrate. The keratinase productions by various microorganisms were reported by a number of workers. It was found that keratinase produce by fungi, Streptomyces and bacteria were produced in nearly at alkaline pH and almost thermophilic temperatures. These enzymes have wide range of substrate specificity such as it can degrade other fibrous protein fibrin, elastin, collagen and other non fibrous protein like casein, bovine serum albumin gelatin etc..
