Enzyme Information

3.4.13.21
Dipeptidase E.
based on mapping to UniProt P36936
Dipeptidase E catalyzes the hydrolysis of dipeptides Asp-|-Xaa. It does not act on peptides with N-terminal Glu, Asn or Gln, nor does it cleave isoaspartyl peptides.
-!- A free carboxy group is not absolutely required in the substrate since Asp-Phe-NH(2) and Asp-Phe-OMe are hydrolyzed somewhat more slowly than dipeptides with free C-termini. -!- No peptide larger than a C-blocked dipeptide is known to be a substrate. -!- Asp-NH-Np is hydrolyzed and is a convenient substrate for routine assay. -!- The enzyme is most active near pH 7.0, and is not inhibited by di-isopropylfluorophosphate or phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride. -!- Belongs to peptidase family S51.
