EC 3.5.1.44

Accepted name: protein-glutamine glutaminase

Reaction: protein L-glutamine + H2O = protein L-glutamate + NH3

Other name(s): peptidoglutaminase II; glutaminyl-peptide glutaminase; destabilase; peptidylglutaminase II

Systematic name: protein-L-glutamine amidohydrolase

Comments: Specific for the hydrolysis of the γ-amide of glutamine substituted at the carboxyl position or both the α-amino and carboxyl positions, e.g., L-glutaminylglycine and L-phenylalanyl-L-glutaminylglycine.
