Hydrolases;
Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases);
Cysteine endopeptidases
Reaction(IUBMB)
Broad endopeptidase action on proteins including elastin, but rather limited hydrolysis of small-molecule substrates. Assays are conveniently made with hemoglobin, casein or Z-Phe-Arg-NHMec as substrate
Comment
Known from species of Staphylococcus. Type example of peptidase family C47.
