Pyroglutamyl-peptidase I
Pyroglutamyl-peptidase I (, also known as Pyrrolidonyl peptidase, is an enzyme (a cysteine peptidase) found in bacteria, plants and animals. It can be used to distinguish certain Streptococcal organisms. Other names are "5-oxoprolyl-peptidase", "pyrase", "pyrrolidonyl arylamidase", "pyroglutamate aminopeptidase", "pyroglutamyl aminopeptidase", "L-pyroglutamyl peptide hydrolase", "pyrrolidone-carboxyl peptidase", "pyrrolidone-carboxylate peptidase", "pyrrolidonyl peptidase", "L-pyrrolidonecarboxylate peptidase", "pyroglutamidase", "pyrrolidonecarboxylyl peptidase") is an enzyme. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction Human gene. PGPEP1
