KEGG   ENZYME: 3.4.23.22
Entry
EC 3.4.23.22                Enzyme                                 
Name
endothiapepsin;
Endothia aspartic proteinase;
Endothia acid proteinase;
Endothia parasitica acid proteinase;
Endothia parasitica aspartic proteinase
Class
Hydrolases;
Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases);
Aspartic endopeptidases
Reaction(IUBMB)
Hydrolysis of proteins with specificity similar to that of pepsin A; prefers hydrophobic residues at P1 and P1', but does not cleave Ala14-Leu in the B chain of insulin or Z-Glu-Tyr. Clots milk
Comment
From the ascomycete Endothia parasitica. In peptidase family A1 (pepsin A family).
History
EC 3.4.23.22 created 1992 (EC 3.4.23.6 created 1992 (EC 3.4.23.6 created 1961 as EC 3.4.4.17, transferred 1972 to EC 3.4.23.6, modified 1981 [EC 3.4.23.7, EC 3.4.23.8, EC 3.4.23.9, EC 3.4.23.10, EC 3.4.99.1, EC 3.4.99.15 and EC 3.4.99.25 all created 1972 and incorporated 1978], part incorporated 1992)
