Pycnoporopepsin (EC 3.4.23.30, proteinase Ia, Pycnoporus coccineus aspartic proteinase, Trametes acid proteinase) is an enzyme.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- Similar to pepsin A, but narrower, cleaving only three bonds in the B chain of insulin: Ala14-Leu, Tyr16-Leu, and Phe24-Phe
This enzyme is isolated from the basidiomycete Pycnoporus sanguineus.
