| Official Name |
| Stem bromelain.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
| Bromelain. |
| Reaction catalysed |
| Broad specificity for cleavage of proteins, but strong preference for Z-Arg-Arg-|-NHMec among small molecule substrates |
| Comment(s) |
- The most abundant of cysteine endopeptidases of the stem of the
pineapple plant, Ananas comosus.
- Distinct from the bromelain found in the pineapple fruit
(EC 3.4.22.33).
- Scarcely inhibited by chicken cystatin and also very slowly
inactivated by E-64.
- Belongs to peptidase family C1.
- Formerly EC 3.4.4.24 and EC 3.4.22.4.
