Leucyl endopeptidase (EC 3.4.21.57, plant Leu-proteinase, leucine-specific serine proteinase, leucine endopeptidase, spinach serine proteinase (leucine specific), spinach leucine-specific serine proteinase, Leu-proteinase) is an enzyme.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Hydrolysis of proteins. Preferential cleavage: Leu- in small molecule substrates

This enzyme is isolated from leaves of the spinach plant (Spinacia oleracea)
