Catalytic ActivityPreferential cleavage: -Tyr-|-Xaa-.
Enzyme RegulationInhibited by SERPINA5. Activity is strongly inhibited by Zn2+, 100 times more abundant in semen than in serum. This inhibition is relieved by exposure to semenogelins, which are avid zinc binders. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1725227, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18187150}.
FunctionHydrolyzes semenogelin-1 thus leading to the liquefaction of the seminal coagulum.
InteractionP10275:AR; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-1220791, EBI-608057;
