Genetic characterization of the peptidases of Polistes versicolor (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2003 Starch gel electrophoresis with L-leucyl-beta-naphthylamide as substrate revealed five aminopeptidases in extracts of Polistes versicolor. These enzymes are presumably products of five structural gene loci.

Carnosinases, Their Substrates and Diseases
Molecules, 2014 Carnosinases are Xaa-His dipeptidases that play diverse functions throughout all kingdoms of life. Human isoforms of carnosinase (CN1 and CN2) under appropriate conditions catalyze the hydrolysis of the dipeptides carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine) and ...

Identification of Urinary Dipeptidase as the Released Form of Renal Dipeptidase
Kidney and Blood Pressure Research, 1997 Amphipathic and hydrophilic forms of human renal dipeptidase and urinary dipeptidase were purified by affinity chromatography using cilastatin, a dipeptidase inhibitor, as the ligand. The sequence analyses of the first ten amino acids of renal and urinary dipeptidases were shown to be identical, and they are Asp-Phe-Phe-Arg-Asp-Glu-Ala-Glu-Arg-Ile ...
