ENTRY EC 3.4.13.8
NAME Pro-X dipeptidase
Prolyl dipeptidase
Iminodipeptidase
Prolinase
Prolylglycine dipeptidase
CLASS Hydrolases
Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases)
Dipeptidases
REACTION Preferential hydrolysis of Pro+Xaa dipeptides; also acts on
hydroxyprolyl analogues.
SUBSTRATE Pro-Xaa
H2O
Hydroxypro-Xaa
PRODUCT L-Proline
Amino acid
4-Hydroxy-L-proline
COMMENT Prolyl amino acids are also hydrolysed by cytosol nonspecific
dipeptidase, EC 3.4.13.18. Earlier reports of action on
prolyl aminoacyl amides are now attributed to contamination by
prolyl aminopeptidase. Formerly EC 3.4.3.6.
