Ala-Gly. Acts more slowly on Ala-AlaAla-Ala and Gly-GlyGly-Gly
Reaction: Preferential release of dipeptides from a tetrapeptide, e.g. Ala-GlyAla-Gly. Acts more slowly on Ala-AlaAla-Ala and Gly-GlyGly-Gly
Other names: dipeptidyl tetrapeptide hydrolase; dipeptidyl ligase; tetrapeptide dipeptidase
Comments: A thiol-activated peptidase from cabbage (Brassica oleracea). Tetrapeptides are formed from Ala-Ala, Gly-Gly, Ala-Gly and Gly-Ala
