Reaction: Selective cleavage of TyrGly bond in picornavirus polyprotein
Other names: picornavirus endopeptidase 2A; poliovirus protease 2A; rhinovirus protease 2A; 2A protease; 2A proteinase; protease 2A; proteinase 2Apro; picornaviral 2A proteinase; Y-G proteinase 2A; poliovirus proteinase 2A; poliovirus protease 2Apro; picornaviral 2A proteinase
Comments: From entero-, rhino-, aphto- and cardioviruses. Smaller than the homologous picornain 3C, which is also In peptidase family C3 (picornain 3C family)
