Synonyms
Mucor rennin; Mucor aspartic proteinase; Mucor acid proteinase; Mucor acid protease; Mucor miehei aspartic proteinase; Mucor miehei aspartic protease; Mucor aspartic proteinase; Mucor pusillus emporase; Fromase 100; Mucor pusillus rennin; Fromase 46TL; Mucor miehei rennin
Function
Isolated from the zygomycete fungi Mucor pusillus and M. miehei. The two species variants show 83% sequence identity and are immunologically crossreactive. In peptidase family A1 (pepsin A family). Formerly included in EC 3.4.23.6

Unit Definition
1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 μmol folin-positive amino acids and peptides (calculated as tyrosine) per minute at pH 7.5 and 37°C.
Reaction
Hydrolysis of proteins, favouring hydrophobic residues at P1 and P1′. Clots milk. Does not accept Lys at P1, and hence does not activate trypsinogen
Recommendation
Action on a synthetic chromophoric hexapeptide. Sales restrictions may apply
