Function
Found in a variety of Aspergillus species (imperfect fungi): Aspergillus awamori (awamorin, aspergillopepsin A:), A. foetidus (aspergillopepsin F:), A. fumigatus, A. kawachii, A. niger (proteinase B, proctase B, A. oryzae (trypsinogen kinase), A. saitoi (aspergillopeptidase A:), and A. sojae. In peptidase family A1 (pepsin A family). Formerly included in EC 3.4.23.6
Applications
Food Industry
Storage
Should be stored in a cool place avoiding high temperature.
Strains
Aspergillus oryzae
Source
Aspergillus oryzae
Production Methods
Fermentation
Reaction
Hydrolysis of proteins with broad specificity. Generally favours hydrophobic residues in P1 and P1′, but also accepts Lys in P1, which leads to activation of trypsinogen. Does not clot milk
