Beta-Lytic metalloendopeptidase

Beta-lytic metalloendopeptidase (, Myxobacter beta-lytic proteinase, achromopeptidase component, beta-lytic metalloproteinase, beta-lytic protease, Myxobacterium sorangium beta-lytic proteinase, Myxobacter495 beta-lytic proteinase) is an enzyme. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * Cleavage of N-acetylmuramoyl-Ala, and of the insulin B chain at Gly23-Phe >  Val18-Cya

This enzyme is present in Achromobacter lyticus and Lysobacter enzymogenes.
