Abstract γ-Seminoprotein (γ-Sm) is a human prostate-specific antigen and a serine protease judging from the complete amino acid sequence which shows extensive homology with the kallikrein family. The enzymatic activity of γ-Sm was defined as a chymotypsin-like activity using reduced and S-3-(trimethylated amino) propylated lysozyme and insulin-oxidized A and B chains as substrates. The-Leu↓ Ser-peptide bond of lysozyme was rapidly hydrolyzed by γ-Sm. γ-Sm also hydrolyzed the-Phe↓ Glu-of lysozyme and the-Leu↓ Cys (SO 3 H)-of insulin B chain. Insulin A chain and arginyl-or lysyl-linkage of these proteins were not hydrolyzed by γ-Sm at all.
