IUBMB Comments

This endopeptidase from the imperfect yeast Candida albicans is inhibited by pepstatin, but not by methyl 2-diazoacetamidohexanoate or 1,2-epoxy-3-(p-nitrophenoxy)propane. In peptidase family A1 (pepsin A family). Formerly included in EC 3.4.23.6

The enzyme appears in viruses and cellular organisms
Reaction Schemes
Preferential cleavage at the carboxyl of hydrophobic amino acids, but fails to cleave Leu15-Tyr, Tyr16-Leu and Phe24-Phe of insulin B chain. Activates trypsinogen, and degrades keratin

Synonyms
aspartyl protease, secreted aspartyl proteinase, sap11, secreted aspartyl proteinases, sapp1p, sap10, yapsin, secreted aspartic proteinase, secreted aspartic protease, sap1p, more
