clos·tri·pain

(klos'tri-pān),

A cysteine proteinase cleaving preferentially at the carboxyl side of arginyl and lysyl residues. It also has an esterase activity.

However, after limited proteolysis of PSA by trypsin, [alpha]-chymotrypsin, clostripain, or V8 protease, the resulting PSA proteolytic fragments were not immunoreactive as evidenced by Western blot analysis under reducing as well as nonreducing conditions (data not shown).
