  3. Elastinolytic metalloproteinase mep
  4. Fungalysin mep
Gene Name MEP
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Secreted metalloproteinase that allows assimilation of proteinaceous substrates and probably acts as a virulence factor (By similarity). Catalyzes the hydrolysis of elastin (PubMed:7927676, PubMed:8188335). Hydrolyzes azocasein, synthetic fluorigenic substrate Abz-Ala-Ala-Phe-Phe-pNA, and His-Leu, Ala-Leu, Tyr-Leu, Gly-Phe, and Phe-Phe peptide bonds in the B chain of insulin (PubMed:8188335).
