Name
aspergillopepsin II;
proteinase A;
proctase A;
Aspergillus niger var. macrosporus aspartic proteinase
Class
Hydrolases;
Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases);
Aspartic endopeptidases
Reaction(IUBMB)
Preferential cleavage in B chain of insulin: Asn3!Gln, Gly13!Ala, Tyr26!Thr
Comment
Isolated from Aspergillus niger var. macrosporus, distinct from proteinase B (see aspergillopepsin I) in specificity and insensitivity to pepstatin. In peptidase family G1 (scytalidopepsin B family). Formerly included in EC 3.4.23.6
