3.4.24.62

Accepted name:

magnolysin

Reaction:

Hydrolysis of polypeptides with Arg or Lys in P1 and P2, e.g. to hydrolyse pro-oxytocin at -Lys-Arg┼Ala-Val-. The specificity further depends on the organization of a β-turn-α-helix of nine or more residues containing the paired basic amino acids near the centre [3]

Other name(s):

bovine neurosecretory granule protease cleaving pro-oxytocin/neurophysin; pro-oxytocin/neurophysin convertase; prooxyphysin proteinase; pro-oxytocin convertase

Comments:

An endopeptidase of 58 kDa known from bovine pituitary neurosecretory granules and bovine and human corpus luteum [4,5]. Inhibited by EDTA [1]
