Functions of glutaminyl cyclase and its isoform in diseases
Glutaminyl cyclase (QC; isoform: isoQC) is a zinc-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the intramolecular cyclization of N-terminal glutamine and glutamic acid residues into a pyroglutamate residue (pGlu). This conversion is a type of posttranslational modification called pyroglutamylation. The expressio...
