QPCT- Name
- glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferase
- Type
- protein-coding
- Aliases
- GCT, QC, sQC
This gene encodes human pituitary glutaminyl cyclase, which is responsible for the presence of pyroglutamyl residues in many neuroendocrine peptides. The amino acid sequence of this enzyme is 86% identical to that of bovine glutaminyl cyclase. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
