Leishmanolysin (EC 3.4.24.36, promastigote surface endopeptidase, glycoprotein gp63, Leishmania metalloproteinase, surface acid proteinase, promastigote surface protease) is an enzyme.[1][2][3][4] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Preference for hydrophobic residues at P1 and P1' and basic residues at P2' and P3'. A model nonapeptide is cleaved at -Ala-Tyr-Leu-Lys-Lys-

This membrane-bound glycoprotein is present in the promastigote of various species of Leishmania protozoans.
