1 The predominant amino acids detected by protein sequence analysis following cleavage of insoluble elastin with HME, MME, and 92-kDa gelatinase were Leu, Ile, Ala, Gly, and Val. Leucine membrane metalloendopeptidase Homo sapiens
2 HME and MME were similar in their substrate specificity and showed a stronger preference for Leu/Ile than did the 92-kDa enzyme. Leucine membrane metalloendopeptidase Homo sapiens
