X-Pro dipeptidyl-aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.14.1) purified homogeneously from the human submaxillary gland was proved to hydrolyze N-terminal dipeptide Arg1-Pro2 and subsequent dipeptide Lys3-Pro4 from substance P (Arg-Pro-Lys-Pro-Gln-Gln-Phe-Phe-gly-Leu-Met-NH2). Km and V values of hydrolysis of substance P were 2.0 mM and 3.6 mumol/min per mg protein, respectively. In contrast, the N-terminal Arg-Pro of bradykinin (Arg-Pro-Pro-Gly-Phe-Ser-Pro-Phe-Arg) was not cleaved by the enzyme.
从人下颌下腺中纯化得到的X-脯氨酰二肽基氨基肽酶(EC 3.4.14.1)被证明能从P物质(Arg-Pro-Lys-Pro-Gln-Gln-Phe-Phe-gly-Leu-Met-NH2)中水解N端二肽Arg1-Pro2及随后的二肽Lys3-Pro4。P物质水解的Km值和V值分别为2.0 mM和每毫克蛋白质3.6 μmol/分钟。相比之下,缓激肽(Arg-Pro-Pro-Gly-Phe-Ser-Pro-Phe-Arg)的N端Arg-Pro不能被该酶切割。
