General annotation (Comments)

Function

Acrosin is the major protease of mammalian spermatozoa. It is a serine protease of trypsin-like cleavage specificity, it is synthesized in a zymogen form, proacrosin and stored in the acrosome.

Catalytic activity

Preferential cleavage: Arg-|-Xaa, Lys-|-Xaa.

Enzyme regulation

Inhibited by SERPINA5. Ref.7

Subunit structure

Heavy chain (catalytic) and a light chain linked by two disulfide bonds. Forms heterodimer with SERPINA5.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.

Contains 1 peptidase S1 domain.
