Protein attributes

Sequence length	381 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Chymosin is synthesized in the mucosa of the abomasum (fourth stomach) of young (unweaned) ruminants. The enzyme hydrolyzes casein to paracasein.
Catalytic activity	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.
Subunit structure	Monomer.
Polymorphism	Forms A and B are probably allelic variants. Form B is the predominant form and differs only in one position.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the peptidase A1 family.
