General annotation (Comments)

Function

Chymosin is synthesized in the mucosa of the stomach. The enzyme hydrolyzes casein to paracasein.

Catalytic activity

Broad specificity similar to that of pepsin A. Clots milk by cleavage of a single 105-Ser-Phe-|-Met-Ala-108 bond in kappa-chain of casein.

Subunit structure

Monomer.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase A1 family.
