Accepted Name
glutamate carboxypeptidase
Alternative Name(s)

carboxypeptidase G1
carboxypeptidase G2
Reaction catalysed
Release of C-terminal glutamate residues from a wide range of N-acylating moieties, including peptidyl, aminoacyl, benzoyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, folyl and pteroyl groups
Comment(s)
  • Produced by pseudomonads, Flavobacterium sp. and Acinetobacter sp.
