Talk:Glutamate carboxypeptidase II

One or two NAAG peptidases? (GCP II, GCP III)
I've found on the web that there is a second enzyme, very similar to GCP II, called GCP III (OMIM 609020). Does it mean that there are two enzymes degrading NAAG to NAA and glutamate? If so the text should be changed accordingly. CopperKettle 15:31, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

chemdraw of NAAG proteolysis
Does anyone else agree that this chemdraw looks kind of sloppy? I just created a better version that doesn't show the aspartyl sidechain bumping into glutamyl amine, but i'm having troubler uploading it and replacing the old one. Hopefully i'll figure out soon, or someone else will fix this problem. otherwise this is a pretty solid page on GPCII. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marcxanderson (talk • contribs) 08:09, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

If by sloppy you mean beautiful then you are correct. For my first chemdraw, I was pretty happy with it. Thanks for the improvements to the page. 141.161.17.242 18:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC)author

Update on imaging
I believe that imaging applications (PET/CT) have improved since that part was written. Helpful would be some experience about thresholds for the identification of tumors (e.g. expressed in PSA-values) Meerwind7  12:21, 13 Jan 2015 (UTC) Meerwind7 (talk) 12:22, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I propose that Prostate_specific_membrane_antigen be merged into Glutamate carboxypeptidase II. Because... seriously.

New paper --> new organ!
This molecule was just involved in the characterization of a new salivary gland located in the pharynx. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167814020308094?fbclid=IwAR0nA8sreP1haUBaqnntkwNw1TxwncpJLFviuDGRwv_vJ7XdVR1EM2gHE5M#b0080 UWM.AP.Endo (talk) 02:48, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
