|
||
| UniProt code: P00794. |
|
||
| Organism: | |
Bos taurus (Bovine). |

| Function: | |
Chymosin is synthesized in the mucosa of the abomasum (fourth stomach) of young (unweaned) ruminants. The enzyme hydrolyzes casein to paracasein. |
|
||
| Catalytic activity: | |
Reaction=Broad specificity similar to that of pepsin A. Clots milk by cleavage of a single 104-Ser-Phe-|-Met-Ala-107 bond in kappa-chain of casein.; EC=3.4.23.4; |
| Subunit: | |
Monomer. |
| Polymorphism: | |
Forms A and B are probably allelic variants. Form B is the predominant form and differs only in one position. |
| Similarity: | |
Belongs to the peptidase A1 family. {ECO:0000305}. |
