| Official Name |
|---|
| Dactylysin.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| Peptide hormone inactivating endopeptidase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| Hydrolysis of peptides of at least six residues, with bulky hydrophobic residues in the P1' position. Shows a preference for hydrophobic doublets such as -Phe-|-Phe- and -Phe-|-Leu- in somatostatin-(1-14)-peptide and dynorphin A-(1-6)-peptide, respectively |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- An endopeptidase of 100 kDa secreted from the skin of Xenopus laevis.
- Resembles neprilysin in insensitivity to 1 uM captopril, but differs
in being insensitive to thiorphan and unable to digest
(5-Met)-enkephalin, (5-Leu)-enkephalin, oxytocin and substance
P-(7-11)-peptide.
