Biology:Metridin

Metridin (EC 3.4.21.3, Metridium proteinase A, sea anemone protease A, sea anemone proteinase A) is an enzyme.^[1]^[2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Preferential cleavage: Tyr-, Phe-, Leu-; little action on Trp-

This digestive enzyme is isolated from the sea anemone Metridium senile.
