Abstract
An arginine esteropeptidase was completely purified from the soluble fraction of human submaxillary glands. The molecular weight was calculated to be 12,000, having 2 species of subunits. The study of the effect of inhibitors confirmed the enzyme's serine protease-like characteristics. The best ester and amide substrates were Tos-Arg-OMe and D-Ile-Pro-Arg-pNA, respectively.
