Description

Glycyl-DL-tryptophan is a basic protein that has been found in the bacterial genus, Lactobacillus. It is an inhibitor of proteolytic and growth factor activity. Glycyl-DL-tryptophan has also been shown to be a radiation sensitive compound that inhibits the growth of other bacteria by reacting with their enzymes. The type species of this protein is Lactobacillus acidophilus, which is a proteolytic enzyme found in the stomach and intestine of mammals. Glycyl-DL-tryptophan inhibits the activity of arylamidase, an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of amides. This protein has been isolated from type strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus helveticus.
