Function

[SUBC_BACLI] Subtilisin is an extracellular alkaline serine protease, it catalyzes the hydrolysis of proteins and peptide amides (Ref.4, PubMed:11109488). Shows high specificity for aromatic and hydrophobic amino acids in the P1 substrate position (PubMed:11109488). May play an important role in the degradation of feather keratin (PubMed:11109488).^{[1] [2]}
