Aureolysin (EC 3.4.24.29, Staphylococcus aureus neutral proteinase, Staphylococcus aureus neutral protease) is an enzyme.[1][2][3][4] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Cleavage of insulin B chain with specificity similar to that of thermolysin, preferring hydrophobic P1' residue. Activates the glutamyl endopeptidase (EC 3.4.21.19) of Staphylococcus aureus

This metalloenzyme is present in S. aureus.
