Pyroglutamate Aminopeptidase (P. furiosus, recombinant)

Pyroglutamate aminopeptidase is a cysteine peptidase that cleaves pyroglutamic acid (pGlu) from the N-terminus of proteins and peptides. It is specific for L-pGlu-L-amino acid isomers and does not typically cleave pGlu-Pro bonds. Pyroglutamate aminopeptidase has been found in various species, including bacteria, mammals, fish, and birds and exists as a multimer in bacteria. Pyroglutamate aminopeptidase has commonly been used to remove pGlu from the N-terminus of peptides and proteins prior to Edman degradation and sequencing. Cayman's Pyroglutamate Aminopeptidase (P. furiosus, recombinant) protein can be used for Edman degradation and protein sequencing applications.
