IUBMB Comments

A zinc enzyme produced by pseudomonads, Flavobacterium sp. and Acinetobacter sp. Its ability to hydrolyse pteroyl-L-glutamate (folic acid) has led to its use as a folate-depleting, antitumour agent. Type example of peptidase family M20

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Eukaryota
Reaction Schemes
release of C-terminal glutamate residues from a wide range of N-acylating moieties, including peptidyl, aminoacyl, benzoyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, folyl and pteroyl groups

Synonyms
glucarpidase, carboxypeptidase g2, cpdg2, glutamate carboxypeptidase, carboxypeptidase g1, carboxypeptidase g, glutamyl carboxypeptidase, more
