| Description : |
Legumain, also known as LGMN, is a cysteine protease belonging to peptidase family C13 with a strict specificity for hydrolysis of asparaginyl bonds. Known previously only from plants and invertebrates, Legumain is discovered as a lysosomal endopeptidase in mammals. Mammalian legumain is a cysteine endopeptidase, inhibited by iodoacetamide and maleimides, but unaffected by compound E64. The mammalian legumain is involved in the processing of bacterial peptides and endogenous proteins for MHC class II presentation in the lysosomal/endosomal systems. Legumain activation is triggered by acidic pH and appears to be autocatalytic. Mouse LGMN is ubiquitously expressed and particularly abundant in kidney and placenta. |
