Choriolysin L Explained

Choriolysin L
Ec Number:	3.4.24.66
Cas Number:	177529-15-6

Choriolysin L (teleost hatching enzyme (component), low choriolytic enzyme (LCE)) is an enzyme.^{[1] [2] [3] [4]} This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Hydrolysis of the inner layer of fish egg envelope. Also hydrolysis of casein and small molecule substrates such as succinyl-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-7-(4-methyl)coumarylamide

This enzyme is present in teleost fish Oryzias latipes.
