Peptidyl-glycinamidase

Peptidyl-glycinamidase (, carboxyamidase, peptidyl carboxy-amidase, peptidyl-aminoacylamidase, carboxamidopeptidase, peptidyl amino acid amide hydrolase) is an enzyme. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * Cleavage of C-terminal glycinamide from polypeptides

This enzyme inactivates vasopressin and oxytocin by splitting off glycinamide.
