FunFam 12: Thermolysin

There are 2 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Bacillolysin. [EC: 3.4.24.28]
Similar, but not identical, to that of thermolysin.

Pseudolysin. [EC: 3.4.24.26]
Hydrolysis of proteins including elastin, collagen types III and IV, fibronectin and immunoglobulin A, generally with bulky hydrophobic group at P1'. Insulin B chain cleavage pattern identical to that of thermolysin, but specificity differs in other respects.
  • Causes tissue damage.
  • Belongs to peptidase family M4.
  • Formerly EC 3.4.24.4.
