dipeptidyl peptidase


di·pep·ti·dyl pep·ti·dase

(dī-pep'ti-dil pep'ti-dās), A hydrolase occurring in a number of forms: dipeptidyl peptidase I, dipeptidyl transferase, cleaving dipeptides from the amino end of polypeptides; dipeptidyl peptidase II, with properties similar to those of I, has a different specificity and acts preferably on tripeptides; dipeptidyl peptidase III acts on longer peptides.

di·pep·ti·dyl pep·ti·dase

(dī-pep'ti-dil pep'ti-dās) A hydrolase occurring in two forms: dipeptidyl peptidase I, dipeptidyl transferase, cleaving dipeptides from the amino end of polypeptides; dipeptidyl peptidase II, with properties similar to those of form I, has a different specificity.
