AGBL4 (human), recombinant protein

Protein function: Metallocarboxypeptidase that mediates deglutamylation of target proteins. Catalyzes the deglutamylation of polyglutamate side chains generated by post-translational polyglutamylation in proteins such as tubulins. Also removes polyglutamates from the carboxy-terminus of target proteins such as MYLK. Mediates deglutamylation of CGAS, regulating the antiviral activity of CGAS. Acts as a long-chain deglutamylase and specifically shortens long polyglutamate chains, while it is not able to remove the branching point glutamate, a process catalyzed by AGBL5/CCP5.
