ENZYME entry: EC 3.4.17.11
| Accepted Name |
|---|
| Glutamate carboxypeptidase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| Carboxypeptidase G. |
| 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 |
| Cofactor(s) |
|---|
| Zn(2+).
|
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Produced by pseudomonads, Flavobacterium sp. and Acinetobacter sp.
- Its ability to hydrolyze pteroyl-L-glutamate (folic acid) has led to
its use as a folate-depleting, antitumor agent.
- Belongs to peptidase family M20A.
