Hydrolases;
Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases);
Aspartic endopeptidases
Reaction(IUBMB)
Converts human Glu-plasminogen to plasmin by cleaving the Arg560!Val peptide bond that is also hydrolysed by the mammalian u-plasminogen activator and t-plasminogen activator. Also cleaves arginyl bonds in other proteins
