Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name Alkaline protease 1
Synonyms
  1. ALP
  2. Aspergillopeptidase B
  3. Aspergillus proteinase B
  4. Elastase
  5. Elastinolytic serine proteinase
  6. Oryzin
Gene Name ALP1
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Secreted alkaline protease that allows assimilation of proteinaceous substrates. Acts as a significant virulence factor in invasive aspergillosis. Involved in immune evasion from the human and mice complement systems during infection. Efficiently cleaves important components of the complement cascade such as such as C3, C4, C5, and C1q, as well as IgG, which leads to down-regulation of complement activation at the hyphal surface.
