Hypodermin C
Ec Number:3.4.21.49
Cas Number:122191-36-0

Hypodermin C (Hypoderma collagenase) is an enzyme.[1] [2] [3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Hydrolysis of proteins including native collagen at -Ala bond leaving an N-terminal (75%) and a C-terminal (25%) fragment

This enzyme is isolated from the larva of a warble fly, Hypoderma lineatum.
