ENZYME entry: EC 3.4.21.72

Accepted Name
IgA-specific serine endopeptidase.
Alternative Name(s)
IgA protease.
Immunoglobulin A1 protease.
Reaction catalysed
Cleavage of immunoglobulin A molecules at certain Pro-|-Xaa bonds in the hinge region. No small molecule substrates are known
Comment(s)
  • Species variants differing slightly in specificity are secreted by Gram-negative bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Haemophilus influenzae.
  • Some other bacterial endopeptidases with similar specificity are of metallotype (see EC 3.4.24.13).
  • Belongs to peptidase family S6.
