Name
candidapepsin;
Candida albicans aspartic proteinase;
Candida albicans carboxyl proteinase;
Candida albicans secretory acid proteinase;
Candida olea acid proteinase;
Candida aspartic proteinase;
Candida olea aspartic proteinase;
Candida albicans aspartic proteinase
Class
Hydrolases;
Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases);
Aspartic endopeptidases
BRITE hierarchy
Reaction(IUBMB)
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
Comment
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
