Bifunctional peptidylglcine alpha-amidating enzyme requires two copper atoms for maximum activity.

Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 311(1) , 191-5, (1994)

The conversion of C-terminal glycine-extended peptides to C-terminal alpha-amidated peptides occurs in two distinct reactions, both of which are catalyzed by bifunctional peptidylglycine alpha-amidating enzyme. The first step is the alpha-hydroxylation of the...

Amidation of bioactive peptides: the structure of the lyase domain of the amidating enzyme.

Structure 17(7) , 965-73, (2009)

Many neuropeptides and peptide hormones require amidation of their carboxy terminal for full biological activity. The enzyme peptidyl-alpha-hydroxyglycine alpha-amidating lyase (PAL; EC 4.3.2.5) catalyzes the second and last step of this reaction, N-dealkylat...

A novel enzyme from bovine neurointermediate pituitary catalyzes dealkylation of alpha-hydroxyglycine derivatives, thereby functioning sequentially with peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase in peptide amidation.

Biochemistry 29(26) , 6115-20, (1990)

We report here the isolation of a novel enzyme from bovine neurointermediate pituitary which catalyzes the conversion of alpha-hydroxybenzoylglycine to benzamide. This enzyme, termed HGAD (alpha-hydroxyglycine amidating dealkylase), is a soluble protein with ...

Urinary metabolite variation is associated with pathological progression of the post-hepatitis B cirrhosis patients.

J. Proteome Res. 11(7) , 3838-47, (2012)

Cirrhosis is a common and terminal outcome of many chronic liver conditions. A urinary metabonomic study using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and ultra performance liquid chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-TOFMS) was carried o...
