  • Title: A new look at Pz-peptidase.
    Author: Barrett AJ.
    Journal: Biol Chem Hoppe Seyler; 1990 May; 371 Suppl():311-20. PubMed ID: 2205241.
    Abstract:
    Work with new, quenched fluorescence substrates of Pz-peptidase has led to the discovery that Pz-peptidase, soluble metallo-endopeptidase and endo-oligopeptidase A are either identical, or very closely related enzymes. Pz-peptidase is a metallo-endopeptidase with marked thiol-dependence. It has been confirmed that inhibitors of the type designed by Orlowski for soluble metallo-endopeptidase are effective tools in studying Pz-peptidase. There is little evidence to support the proposed role of Pz-peptidase in connective tissue matrix degradation, and the main function of the enzyme may be intracellular.
