KEGG   ENZYME: 3.4.21.32
Entry
EC 3.4.21.32                Enzyme                                 
Name
brachyurin;
Uca pugilator collagenolytic proteinase;
crab protease I;
crab protease II
Class
Hydrolases;
Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases);
Serine endopeptidases
Reaction(IUBMB)
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
From hepatopancreas of the fiddler crab, Uca pugilator. In peptidase family S1 (trypsin family). Other serine endopeptidases that degrade collagen, but are not listed separately here, include a second endopeptidase from Uca pugilator [4], digestive enzymes from other decapod crustacea [5,6], and an enzyme from the fungus Entomophthora coronata [1].
