glutamate carboxypeptidase II
A metallo-carboxypeptidase that is predominantly expressed as a membrane-bound enzyme of 94-100 kDa, but also exists in a soluble form. Hydrolyses α-peptide bonds in Ac-Asp-Glu, Asp-Glu, and Glu-Glu, but also γ-glutamyl bonds in γ-Glu-Glu, and folylpoly-γ-glutamates. With folylpoly-γ-glutamates, shows processive carboxypeptidase activity to produce pteroylmonoglutamate. Does not hydrolyse Ac-β-Asp-Glu. Known inhibitors: quisqualic acid, Ac-β-Asp-Glu, and 2-phosphonomethyl-pentanedioate. In peptidase family M28 of Vibrio leucyl aminopeptidase. The release of C-terminal glutamate from folylpoly-γ-glutamates is also catalysed by EC 3.4.17.11 (glutamate carboxypeptidase) and EC 3.4.19.9 (γ-Glu-X carboxypeptidase).
