Thimet oligopeptidase (EC 3.4.24.15, Pz-peptidase, soluble metalloendopeptidase, endo-oligopeptidase A, tissue-endopeptidase degrading collagenase-synthetic-substrate) is an enzyme. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Preferential cleavage of bonds with hydrophobic residues at P1, P2 and P3' and a small residue at P1' in substrates of 5-15 residues

Thiol compounds activate this enzyme at low concentrations.
