Aspergillus alkaline proteinase; aspergillopeptidase B; API 21; aspergillopepsin B; aspergillopepsin F; Aspergillus candidus alkaline proteinase; Aspergillus flavus alkaline proteinase; Aspergillus melleus semi-alkaline proteinase; Aspergillus oryzae alkaline proteinase; Aspergillus parasiticus alkaline proteinase; Aspergillus serine proteinase; Aspergillus sydowi alkaline proteinase; Aspergillus soya alkaline proteinase; Aspergillus melleus alkaline proteinase; Aspergillus sulphureus alkaline proteinase; prozyme; P 5380; kyorinase; seaprose S; semi-alkaline protease; sumizyme MP; prozyme 10; onoprose; onoprose SA; protease P; promelase |
Comments: |
A peptidase of family S8 (subtilisin family), not containing cysteine, that is the predominant extracellular alkaline endopeptidase of the mold Aspergillus oryzae. Identical or closely related enzymes are produced by A. flavus and A. sojae [2,3,4] |
