ENTRY EC 3.4.21.32
NAME Barchyurin
Uca pugilator collagenolytic proteinase
CLASS Hydrolases
Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases)
Serine endopeptidases
REACTION Hydrolysis of proteins, with broad specificity for peptide bonds.
Native collagen is cleaved about 751436424f the length of the molecule
from the N-terminus. Low activity on small molecule substrates of
both trypsin and chymotrypsin.
SUBSTRATE Collagen
H2O
Protein

PRODUCT Protein
Peptide
INHIBITOR Tos-Lys-CH2Cl
COMMENT From hepatopancreas of the fiddler crab, Uca pugilator. A
homologue of chymotrypsin. Other serine endopeptidases that
degrade collagen, but are not listed separately here, include a
second endopeptidases from Uca pugilator, digestive enzymes
from other decapod crustacea, and an enzyme from the fungus
Entomophthora (formerly EC 3.4.21.33).
