Reaction:	Hydrolysis of proteins including native collagen at ┼Ala bond leaving an N-terminal (75%) and a C-terminal (25%) fragment
Other name(s):	Hypoderma collagenase
Comments:	From the larva of a warble fly, Hypoderma lineatum. Little action on small molecule substrates of trypsin, chymotrypsin, elastase or microbial collagenases. In peptidase family S1 (trypsin family)
