Pitrilysin (EC 3.4.24.55, Escherichia coli protease III, protease Pi, proteinase Pi, PTR, Escherichia coli metalloproteinase Pi) is an enzyme.[1][2][3][4][5] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction:
- Preferential cleavage of -Tyr16- Leu- and -Phe25- Tyr-bonds of oxidized insulin B chain. Also acts on other substrates of less than 7 kDa such as glucagon
This enzyme is present in bacteria Escherichia coli.
