dipeptidase

This form of the dipeptidase is not found in human blood until late infancy, slowly rising to adult levels by age 15.

In his earliest work there, Fruton tested the stereochemical specificity of dipeptidase.

Nonspecific dipeptidase may refer to:

Imipenem, an N-formimidoyl derivative of thienamycin, is rapidly metabolized by a renal dipeptidase enzyme found in the human body.

FAP is catalytically active as a 170kD dimer and has dipeptidase and gelatinase activity.

Tissue carnosinase is often considered a "non-specific dipeptidase", based in part on its ability to hydrolyze a range of dipeptide substrates, including those belonging to prolinase.

Beta-Ala-His dipeptidase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CNDP1 gene.

DPP-4 is a dipeptidase that selectively binds substrates that contain proline at the P1-position, thus many DPP-4 inhibitors have 5-membered heterocyclic rings that mimic proline, e.g. pyrrolidine, cyanopyrrolidine, thiazolidine and cyanothiazolidine.

In human digestion, proteins in food are broken down into smaller peptide chains by digestive enzymes such as pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase, and into amino acids by various enzymes such as carboxypeptidase, aminopeptidase and dipeptidase.

Carnosinemia, also called carnosinase deficiency or aminoacyl-histidine dipeptidase deficiency, is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency of carnosinase, a dipeptidase (a type of enzyme that splits dipeptides into their two amino acid constituents).
