Reactivity: (predicted: Carica papaya)
Papain is a protease derived from the papaya fruit (Carica papaya). It hydrolyses peptides with broad specificity, but shows a preference for large hydrophobic amino acids in the P2 position. It is synthesised as an inactive 40 kDa precursor containing a 107 residue N terminal pro region and a 26 residue signal peptide.
