Lys bond in insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-4, and the Ser143Lys bond in IGFBP-5
Reaction: Cleavage of the Met135Lys bond in insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-4, and the Ser143Lys bond in IGFBP-5
Other name(s): insulin-like growth factor binding protein-4 protease; pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A
Comments: A 400-kDa disulfide-linked dimer. Circulates in human pregnancy mainly as a complex with the proform of eosinophil major basic protein, which acts as an inhibitor of the peptidase. The rate of hydrolysis of IGFBP-4 is increased about 20-fold by the presence of insulin-like growth factor (IGF), whereas that of IGFBP-5 is decreased about two-fold. In peptidase family M43.
