| CAS Number | |
| INS Number | |
| IUBMB Number | 3.4.22.32 |
| Technological Function [Category (for enzyme preparations only)] | Food enzymes (including immobilized enzymes) |
| Description | |
| Functional Use | Stem bromelain: Broad specificity for cleavage of proteins, but strong preference for Z-Arg-Arg┼NHMec amongst small molecule substrates.Fruit bromelain: Hydrolysis of proteins with broad specificity for peptide bonds. Bz-Phe-Val-Arg┼NHMec is a good synthetic substrate, but there is no action on Z-Arg-Arg-NHMec (c.f. stem bromelain) |
