EC 3.4.21.54

Accepted name: γ-renin

Reaction: Cleavage of the LeuLeu bond in synthetic tetradecapeptide renin substrate (horse), to produce angiotensin I, but not active on natural angiotensinogen, unlike renin (EC 3.4.23.15). Also hydrolyses Bz-Arg-p-nitroanilide

Comments: A member of the tissue kallikrein family, from submandibular glands of male mice. In peptidase family S1 (trypsin family)
