Show
Comment A lysosomal or secreted, thiol-dependent peptidase, most active at
acidic pH. Commonly studied with folylpoly-gamma-glutamate as
substrate, with which the initial cleavage may release glutamate or
poly-gamma-glutamate of two or more residues, according to the
species of origin of the enzyme. Final products are
pteroyl-alpha-glutamate (folic acid) and free glutamate. Highly
specific for the gamma-glutamyl bond, but not for the C-terminal
amino acid (leaving group). Action on gamma-glutamyl bonds is
independent of an N-terminal pteroyl moiety, but it is not known
whether an N-terminal gamma-Glu residue can be hydrolysed. Type
example of peptidase family C26.
