Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the term 'Proteases'. Proteases are enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of proteins by hydrolyzing peptide bonds between amino acids.

Step 2: Recall the alternative name for proteases. Proteases are also commonly referred to as 'Peptidases' because they act on peptide bonds.

Step 3: Analyze the other options provided: 'Amylases' break down carbohydrates, 'Kinases' transfer phosphate groups, and 'Lipases' break down lipids. None of these are related to protein hydrolysis.

Step 4: Match the correct answer to the definition of proteases. Since proteases are synonymous with peptidases, the correct answer is 'Peptidases'.

Step 5: Conclude that the correct answer is based on the enzymatic function of proteases, which aligns with the term 'Peptidases'.
