Gene symbol QPCT
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
GCTQCsQC
Chromosome 2
Chromosome location 2p22.2
Summary 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. [provided b

Protein name Glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferase (EC 2.3.2.5) (Glutaminyl cyclase) (QC) (sQC) (Glutaminyl-tRNA cyclotransferase) (Glutamyl cyclase) (EC)
Protein function Responsible for the biosynthesis of pyroglutamyl peptides. Has a bias against acidic and tryptophan residues adjacent to the N-terminal glutaminyl residue and a lack of importance of chain length after the second residue. Also catalyzes N-termin
