KEGG   ENZYME: 3.4.22.32
Entry
EC 3.4.22.32                Enzyme                                 
Name
stem bromelain;
bromelain;
pineapple stem bromelain
Class
Hydrolases;
Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases);
Cysteine endopeptidases
Reaction(IUBMB)
Broad specificity for cleavage of proteins, but strong preference for Z-Arg-Arg!NHMec amongst small molecule substrates
Comment
The most abundant of the cysteine endopeptidases of the stem of the pineapple plant, Ananas comosus. Distinct from the bromelain found in the pineapple fruit (EC 3.4.22.33). Scarcely inhibited by chicken cystatin and also very slowly inactivated by {glossary/E64::E-64}. In peptidase family C1 (papain family).
History
EC 3.4.22.32 created 1965 as EC 3.4.4.24, transferred 1972 to EC 3.4.22.4, part transferred 1992 to EC 3.4.22.32
