Description
Found in a variety of Aspergillus species (imperfect fungi): Aspergillus awamori (awamorin, aspergillopepsin A:), A. foetidus (aspergillopepsin F:), A. fumigatus, A. kawachii, A. niger (proteinase B, proctase B:), A. oryzae (trypsinogen kinase:), A. saitoi (aspergillopeptidase A:), and A. sojae. In peptidase family A1 (pepsin A family). Formerly included in EC 3.4.23.6
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
Aspergillus acid protease; Aspergillus acid proteinase; Aspergillus aspartic proteinase; Aspergillus awamori acid proteinase; Aspergillus carboxyl proteinase; (see also Comments); carboxyl proteinase; Aspergillus kawachii aspartic proteinase; Aspergillus saitoi acid proteinase; pepsin-type aspartic proteinase; Aspergillus niger acid proteinase; sumizyme AP; proctase P; denapsin; denapsin XP 271; proctase
Reaction
Hydrolysis of proteins with broad specificity. Generally favours hydrophobic residues in P1 and P1', but also accepts Lys in P1, which leads to activation of trypsinogen. Does not clot milk
