FunFam 3: Insulin-degrading enzyme

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
Insulysin. [EC: 3.4.24.56]
Degradation of insulin, glucagon and other polypeptides. No action on proteins.
  • Cytosolic enzyme, known from mammals and 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.
  • Belongs to peptidase family M16.
  • Formerly EC 3.4.22.11, EC 3.4.99.10 and EC 3.4.99.45.
5 P14735 P22817 P35559 Q24K02 Q9JHR7
Nardilysin. [EC: 3.4.24.61]
Hydrolysis of polypeptides, preferably at -Xaa-|-Arg-Lys-, and less commonly at -Arg-|-Arg-Xaa-, in which Xaa is not Arg or Lys.
  • Unusually for a metallopeptidase, inhibited by bestatin, amastin and ethylmaleimide.
  • Belongs to peptidase family M16.
