| Accepted Name |
| Rhizopuspepsin.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
| Rhizopus aspartic proteinase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
| Hydrolysis of proteins with broad specificity similar to that of pepsin A, preferring hydrophobic residues at P1 and P1'. Clots milk and activates trypsinogen. Does not cleave 4-Gln-|-His-5, but does cleave 10-His-|-Leu-11 and 12-Val-|-Glu-13 in B chain of insulin |
| Comment(s) |
- From the zygomycete fungi Rhizopus chinensis and R.niveus.
- Belongs to peptidase family A1.
- Formerly EC 3.4.23.9 and EC 3.4.99.25.
