transpeptidase


trans·pep·ti·dase

(trans-pep'ti-dās), An enzyme catalyzing a transpeptidation reaction; many proteolytic enzymes (for example, trypsin, papain) act as transpeptidases in the course of proteolysis, forming an acylated enzyme as an intermediate in the process; for example, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase.
