Mycolysin (EC 3.4.24.31, pronase component, Streptomyces griseus neutral proteinase, actinase E, SGNPI) is an enzyme.[1][2][3][4] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Preferential cleavage of bonds with hydrophobic residues in P1'

This enzyme is present in Streptomyces griseus, S. naraensis, and S. cacaoi.
