Ec Number:3.4.24.78
Cas Number:75718-32-0

GPR endopeptidase (germination proteinase) is an enzyme.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction:

Endopeptidase action with P4 Glu or Asp, P1 preferably Glu > Asp, P1' hydrophobic and P2' Ala

This enzyme participates in spore germination in Bacillus megaterium.
