EC 3.4.22.32     
Accepted name: stem bromelain
Reaction: Broad specificity for cleavage of proteins, but strong preference for Z-Arg-Arg┼NHMec amongst small molecule substrates
Other name(s): bromelain; pineapple stem bromelain
Comments: The most abundant of the cysteine endopeptidases of the stem of the pineapple plant, Ananas comosus. Distinct from the bromelain found in the pineapple fruit (EC 3.4.22.33). Scarcely inhibited by chicken cystatin and also very slowly inactivated by E-64. In peptidase family C1 (papain family).
