Superfamily Gamma-glutamyl cyclotransferase-like
Functional Family Gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase

Enzyme Information

4.3.2.9
Gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt O75223
Alpha-(gamma-L-glutamyl)-L-amino acid = alpha-L-amino acid + 5-oxo-L- proline.
-!- The enzyme, found in animals and plants, acts on derivatives of L-glutamate, L-2-aminobutanoate, L-alanine and glycine. -!- The enzyme acts as a cyclotransferase, cleaving the amide bond via transamidation using the alpha-amine of the L-glutamyl residue, releasing it as the cyclic 5-oxo-L-proline. -!- Formerly EC 2.3.2.4.
