Preferred Label : pyroglutamyl-peptidase i;
MeSH definition : An enzyme that catalyzes the release of a N-terminal pyroglutamyl group from a polypeptide
provided the next residue is not proline. It is inhibited by thiol-blocking reagents
and occurs in mammalian tissues, microorganisms, and plants. (From Enzyme Nomenclature,
1992) EC 3.4.19.3.;
