Snapalysin
Snapalysin (EC 3.4.24.77, small neutral protease, SnpA gene product (Streptomyces lividans)) is an enzyme.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- Hydrolyses proteins with a preference for Tyr or Phe in the P1' position. Has no action on amino-acid p-nitroanilides
This enzyme belongs to the peptidase family M7.
