Short description: Enzyme
Cucumisin (EC 3.4.21.25, euphorbain, solanain, hurain, tabernamontanain) is an enzyme.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] This enzyme catalyzes hydrolysis of a wide range of proteins. It has been identified as an allergen in humans.[8]
This enzyme is isolated from the sarcocarp of the musk melon (Cucumis melo).
