| Official Name |
| Brachyurin.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
| Collagenolytic protease. |
| Reaction catalysed |
| Hydrolysis of proteins, with broad specificity for peptide bonds. Native collagen is cleaved about 75% of the length of the molecule from the N-terminus. Low activity on small molecule substrates of both trypsin and chymotrypsin |
| Comment(s) |
- From hepatopancreas of the fiddler crab (Uca pugilator).
- Other serine endopeptidases that degrade collagen, but are not listed
separately here, include a second endopeptidase from U.pugilator,
digestive enzymes from other decapod crustacea, and an enzyme from
the fungus Entomophthora coronata.
- Belongs to peptidase family S1.
