EC 3.4.22.33 Details
EC number
3.4.22.33
Accepted name
fruit bromelain
Reaction
Hydrolysis of proteins with broad specificity for peptide bonds. Bz-Phe-Val-Arg┼NHMec is a good synthetic substrate, but there is no action on Z-Arg-Arg-NHMec (c.f. stem bromelain)
Other name(s)
juice bromelain, ananase, bromelase, bromelin, extranase, pinase, pineapple enzyme, traumanase, fruit bromelain FA2
CAS registry number
9001-00-7
Comment
From the pineapple plant, Ananas comosus. Scarcely inhibited by chicken cystatin. Another cysteine endopeptidase, with similar action on small molecule substrates, pinguinain, is obtained from the related plant, Bromelia pinguin, but pinguinain differs from fruit bromelain in being inhibited by chicken cystatin [4].
History
created 1965 as EC 3.4.4.24, transferred 1972 to EC 3.4.22.4, part transferred 1992 to EC 3.4.22.33
