Asp in type I and II procollagens and at ArgAsp in type III
Reaction: Cleavage of the C-terminal propeptide at AlaAsp in type I and II procollagens and at ArgAsp in type III
Other name(s): procollagen C-terminal proteinase; carboxyprocollagen peptidase; procollagen C-terminal peptidase; procollagen C-proteinase; procollagen C-terminal proteinase; procollagen carboxypeptidase; procollagen carboxy-terminal proteinase; procollagen peptidase
Comments: A 100 kDa endopeptidase the activity of which is increased by Ca2+ and by an enhancer glycoprotein. In peptidase family M12 (astacin family)
