The present invention provides a novel myosin-degrading enzyme derived from squid. Kind Code: A1 Among the myosin-degrading enzymes derived from the gut of squid and squid having a specific amino acid sequence, type II myosin-degrading enzymes, preferably myosin heavy chain, particularly Glu and 1099 at position 1098 of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin heavy chain. Provided is a myosinase II or a mutant thereof that specifically cleaves between Asp positions, a nucleic acid sequence encoding the same, and a method for producing the novel myosin-degrading enzyme.
