A peptidase, isolated from rat testes, is inhibited by 1 mM o-phenanthroline, 1 microM N-(1-(R,S)-carboxyl-3-phenylpropyl)-Ala-Ala-Phe-p-aminobenzoate, and 6 mM Pro-Ile, properties similar to those ascribed to endopeptidase 24.16. The enzyme hydrolyzes dynorphin A-8, neurotensin 1-13, angiotensin I, and substance P.

Specificity of prolyl endopeptidase [PDF]
A series of tetrapeptides, Cbz(Bz)‐Gly‐X‐Leu‐Gly, were synthesized and the kinetic parameters, k cat and , determined for their hydrolyses by prolyl endopeptidase from Flavobacterium. The peptides with X = N‐Me‐Ala, Sar and Ala as well as the standard substrate (X = Pro) were found to be good substrates, while those with X = α‐aminobutyryl, Hyp, Ser ...

Endopeptidases and prohormone processing
Peptide hormones and peptide transmitters are generated from polypeptide precursors by specific cleavage reactions which take place principally at sites formed by single or paired basic residues. Not all the possible cleavage sites are utilised, however, and the degree of processing of many propeptides has been found to vary according to the tissue of ...

Hydrolysis of rat melanin-concentrating hormone by endopeptidase 24.11 (neutral endopeptidase) [PDF]
Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a cyclic peptide which behaves as an antagonist of the pituitary melanotropic hormone alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in fishes. Cloning of the rat MCH cDNA precursor recently revealed the presence of an additional putative peptide named NEI.
