Ett enzym som katalyserar syntesen av pyroglutamat utifrån gammaglutamylaminosyra, varvid fri aminosyra frisätts. Enzymet verkar på derivat av glutamat, 2-aminobutyrat, alanin och glycin, och anses spela en roll i gammaglutamylcykeln för transport av aminosyra till cellerna i tarmsystemet. EC 2.3.2.4.
An enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of pyroglutamate from a gamma-glutamyl-amino acid, also releasing the free amino acid. The enzyme acts on derivatives of glutamate, 2-aminobutyrate, alanine and glycine. The enzyme has been proposed to have a role in a gamma-glutamyl cycle for amino acid transport into cells in the intestines. EC 2.3.2.4.
