pitrilysin metallopeptidase 1

Freeze-dried Powder. PBS, pH7.4, containing 0.01% SKL, 5% Trehalose.

Metalloendopeptidase of the mitochondrial matrix that functions in peptide cleavage and degradation rather than in protein processing (PubMed:10360838, PubMed:16849325, PubMed:19196155, PubMed:24931469). Has an ATP-independent activity (PubMed:16849325). Specifically cleaves peptides in the range of 5 to 65 residues (PubMed:19196155). Shows a preference for cleavage after small polar residues and before basic residues, but without any positional preference (PubMed:10360838, PubMed:19196155, PubMed:24931469). Degrades the transit peptides of mitochondrial proteins after their cleavage (PubMed:19196155). Also degrades other unstructured peptides (PubMed:19196155). It is also able to degrade amyloid-beta protein 40, one of the peptides produced by APP processing, when it accumulates in mitochondrion (PubMed:16849325, PubMed:24931469). It is a highly efficient protease, at least toward amyloid-beta protein 40 (PubMed:24931469). Cleaves that peptide at a specific position and is probably not processive, releasing digested peptides intermediates that can be further cleaved subsequently (PubMed:24931469).
