Enzyme Information

3.4.17.11
Glutamate carboxypeptidase.
based on mapping to UniProt P06621
Release of C-terminal glutamate residues from a wide range of N-acylating moieties, including peptidyl, aminoacyl, benzoyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, folyl and pteroyl groups.
-!- 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.
