Description

Z-Pro-Ala-OH is a carboxypeptidase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the amide bond between the carboxyl group of glutamic acid and the amino group of proline. This enzyme can be found in wheat (Triticum aestivum), where it is present at high concentrations, and has a specificity for Z-Pro-Ala. The enzyme is active in muscle tissue, as well as in brain and cardiovascular tissues. It has been shown to have beneficial effects on cerebral cortex function and cardiovascular diseases. The enzyme is also specific to erythrocytes and plasma samples, with high activity levels observed in homogenates of both tissues.
