3.4.24.56

Accepted name:

insulysin

Reaction:

Degradation of insulin, glucagon and other polypeptides. No action on proteins

Other name(s):

insulinase; insulin-degrading enzyme; insulin protease; insulin proteinase; insulin-degrading neutral proteinase; insulin-specific protease; insulin-glucagon protease; metalloinsulinase; IDE

Comments:

A 110 kDa cytosolic enzyme, known from mammals and the fruit fly, 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. In peptidase family M16 (pitrilysin family).
