Chorionic peptidase inactivates GnRH as a post‐proline peptidase

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1992
Recently, we have described a chorionic peptidase (C-ase-1) which inactivates gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), oxytocin, angiotensin II and thyrotropin releasing hormone. Since all these hormones contain a proline residue, we proposed that C-ase-1 may act as a post-proline peptidase.

Peptidases in the Asthmatic Airways

2002
Studies on the role of peptidases in the pathogenesis of asthma have not been able to convincingly demonstrate a dysfunction of these enzymes in the airways of stable asthmatics. Although asthmatic airways are more responsive to tachykinin-induced bronchoconstriction and nasal congestion (Joos et al 1987, Joos et al 1994), no apparent reduction in NEP ...

INCREASE OF ENDO-PEPTIDASES AND EXO-PEPTIDASES IN THYROID-TUMORS

Oncology Reports, 1994
Production of proteolytic enzymes is important for the invasive properties of malignant tumours. In this series of 43 cases of various non-neoplastic and neoplastic thyroid lesions, the activity of dipeptidyl peptidase I and dipeptidyl peptidase IV was increased in papillary carcinomas. In addition, cathepsin B and cathepsin L were markedly elevated in

Proline specific peptidases

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure and Molecular Enzymology, 1997
Proline is unique among the 20 amino acids due to its cyclic structure. This specific conformation imposes many restrictions on the structural aspects of peptides and proteins and confers particular biological properties upon a wide range of physiologically important biomolecules.
