Gene:
glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferase (glutaminyl cyclase)
Gene ID:
190988
Symbol:
QPCT
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes human pituitary glutaminyl cyclase, which is responsible for the presence of pyroglutamyl residues in many neuroendocrine peptides. The amino acid sequence of this enzyme is 86% identical to that of bovine glutaminyl cyclase.
