Ec Number:3.4.21.70
Cas Number:68073-27-8

Pancreatic endopeptidase E (cholesterol-binding proteinase, proteinase E, cholesterol-binding serine proteinase, pancreatic protease E, pancreatic proteinase E, cholesterol-binding pancreatic proteinase, CBPP, pancreas E proteinase) is an enzyme.[1] [2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Preferential cleavage: Ala-. Does not hydrolyse elastin

This enzyme is peptidase of family S1 (trypsin family) from pancreatic juice.
