Enzyme Information

3.4.21.66
Thermitase.
based on mapping to UniProt P04072
Hydrolysis of proteins, including collagen.
-!- From Thermoactinomyces vulgaris containing a single Cys, near the active site His, and inhibited by p-mercuribenzoate. -!- The N-terminal extension of the polypeptide chain relative to subtilisin contributes to calcium-binding and the high thermostability. -!- The amino acid composition and properties of the thermostable enzyme from Streptomyces rectus var. proteolyticus are closely similar. -!- Belongs to peptidase family S8. -!- Formerly EC 3.4.4.16.
