Name Glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferase
Synonyms
  1. EC
  2. Glutaminyl cyclase
  3. Glutaminyl-tRNA cyclotransferase
  4. Glutamyl cyclase
  5. QC
  6. sQC
Gene Name QPCT
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in peptidase activity
Specific Function Responsible for the biosynthesis of pyroglutamyl peptides. Has a bias against acidic and tryptophan residues adjacent to the N-terminal glutaminyl residue and a lack of importance of chain length after the second residue. Also catalyzes N-terminal pyroglutamate formation. In vitro, catalyzes pyroglutamate formation of N-terminally truncated form of APP amyloid-beta peptides [Glu-3]-beta-amyloid. May be involved in the N-terminal pyroglutamate formation of several amyloid-related plaque-forming peptides.
