The conversion of C-terminal glycine-extended peptides to C-terminal alpha-amidated peptides occurs in two distinct reactions, both of which are catalyzed by bifunctional peptidylglycine alpha-amidating enzyme. The first step is the alpha-hydroxylation of the C-terminal glycine residue and the second step

We report here the isolation of a novel enzyme from bovine neurointermediate pituitary which catalyzes the conversion of alpha-hydroxybenzoylglycine to benzamide. This enzyme, termed HGAD (alpha-hydroxyglycine amidating dealkylase), is a soluble protein with an apparent molecular mass of 45 kDa

Glycosaminoglycan (GAG), a major component of the endothelial glycocalyx, is severely perturbed in diabetic vasculature leading to endothelial inflammation and vascular disease in diabetes. We tested the hypothesis that blueberry metabolites (BBM) ameliorate endothelial inflammation in diabetic endothelial cells (ECs)

Cirrhosis is a common and terminal outcome of many chronic liver conditions. A urinary metabonomic study using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and ultra performance liquid chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-TOFMS) was carried out to elucidate the pathophysiological basis of posthepatitis

Many neuropeptides and peptide hormones require amidation of their carboxy terminal for full biological activity. The enzyme peptidyl-alpha-hydroxyglycine alpha-amidating lyase (PAL; EC 4.3.2.5) catalyzes the second and last step of this reaction, N-dealkylation of the peptidyl-alpha-hydroxyglycine to generate the alpha-amidated
