BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
L-glutaminyl-peptide gamma-glutamyltransferase (cyclizing)
Reaction(IUBMB)
L-glutaminyl-peptide = 5-oxoprolyl-peptide + NH3 [RN:R04058]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
L-glutaminyl-peptide [CPD:C02986]
Product
5-oxoprolyl-peptide [CPD:C02805];
NH3 [CPD:C00014]
Comment
Involved in the formation of thyrotropin-releasing hormone and other biologically active peptides containing N-terminal pyroglutamyl residues. The enzyme from papaya also acts on glutaminyl-tRNA.
