- Background
-
Background: Glutaminyl cyclase, also known as QPCT, can promote the N-terminal cyclization reaction of N-terminal pyroglutamate(pGlu). The pGlu formation from its glutaminyl precursor is required in the maturation of numerous bioactive peptides, while the aberrant formation of pGlu may be related to several pathological processes, such as osteoporosis and amyloidotic diseases. Glutaminyl cyclase's structure reveals an alpha/beta scaffold akin to that of two-zinc exopeptidases but with several insertions and deletions, particularly in the active-site region. Glutaminyl cyclase's amino acid sequence of this enzyme is 86 % identical to that of bovine glutaminyl cyclase. It is responsible for the presence of pyroglutamyl residues in many neuroendocrine peptides.
