Pseudolysin (EC 3.4.24.26, Pseudomonas elastase, Pseudomonas aeruginosa neutral metalloproteinase) is an enzyme.[1][2][3][4][5] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
Hydrolysis of proteins including elastin, collagen types III and IV, fibronectin and immunoglobulin A, generally with bulky hydrophobic group at P1'. Insulin B chain cleavage pattern identical to that of thermolysin, but specificity differs in other respects
This enzyme belongs to the peptidase family M4 (thermolysin family).
