Saccharopepsin (EC 3.4.23.25, yeast endopeptidase A, Saccharomyces aspartic proteinase, aspartic proteinase yscA, proteinase A, proteinase yscA, yeast proteinase A, Saccharomyces cerevisiae aspartic proteinase A, PRA) is an enzyme.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Hydrolysis of proteins with broad specificity for peptide bonds. Cleaves -Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr bond in a synthetic substrate.

This enzyme is present in baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae).
