The present invention provides compositions and methods for wound debridement and healing. The debridement compositions preferably comprise a metalloprotease enzyme such as a choriolytic enzyme.

The present invention relates to various polypeptides from fish hatching fluid, their encoding nucleic acid sequences, pharmaceutical compositions comprising said polypeptides and nucleic acid molecules and their use in various medical and cosmetic applications to the skin, particularly for moisturizing skin and/or for exfoliation of the horny layer of the skin for treating or preventing skin disorders or conditions in an animal.
