Unbiased and global peptidase specificity technology to detect novel activities.
Excretion/secretion peptidase activity detected in Schistosoma mansoni.
All stages except cercariae secrete a trypsin-type serine peptidase(s).
Eggs and adults, but not schistosomula, release metallo-peptidases.
Eggs release a cysteine protease that is active at neutral pH.
