EC 3.4.21.72     
Accepted name: IgA-specific serine endopeptidase
Reaction: Cleavage of immunoglobulin A molecules at certain Pro┼ bonds in the hinge region. No small molecule substrates are known
Other name(s): IgA protease; IgA proteinase; IgA-specific proteinase; immunoglobulin A protease; immunoglobulin A proteinase
Comments: Species variants differing slightly in specificity are secreted by Gram-negative bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Haemophilus influenzae. Type example of peptidase family S6. Some other bacterial endopeptidases with similar specificity are of metallo- type (see EC 3.4.24.13, IgA-specific metalloendopeptidase)
