Staphopain
Staphopain (EC 3.4.22.48, staphylopain) is an enzyme.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- Broad endopeptidase action on proteins including elastin, but rather limited hydrolysis of small-molecule substrates.
This enzyme is present in several species of Staphylococcus.
