FunFam 8276: Putative stromal processing peptidase

There are 2 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Insulysin. [EC: 3.4.24.56]
Degradation of insulin, glucagon and other polypeptides. No action on proteins.
  • Cytosolic enzyme, known from mammals and Drosophila melanogaster.
  • Inhibited by bacitracin, chelating agents EDTA and 1,10- phenanthroline, and by thiol-blocking reagents such as N-ethylmaleimide, but not by phosphoramidon.
  • Belongs to peptidase family M16.
  • Formerly EC 3.4.22.11, EC 3.4.99.10 and EC 3.4.99.45.
1 Q8IL67
Pitrilysin. [EC: 3.4.24.55]
Preferential cleavage of 16-Tyr-|-Leu-17 and 25-Phe-|-Tyr-26 bonds of oxidized insulin B chain. Also acts on other substrates of Mw less than 7 kDa such as insulin and glucagon.
  • From the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli.
  • Inhibited by EDTA and 1,10-phenanthroline; not thiol dependent.
  • Belongs to peptidase family M16.
  • Formerly EC 3.4.99.44.
