Important Note:
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
This gene encodes human pituitary glutaminyl cyclase, which is responsible for the presence of pyroglutamyl residues in many neuroendocrine peptides. The amino acid sequence of this enzyme is 86% identical to that of bovine glutaminyl cyclase.
Gene References into function
- Functional expression of human glutaminyl cyclase in Pichia pastoris reveals the presence of a disulfide bond with an important role in the stabilization of active protein structure.
- human glutaminyl cyclase is a metal-dependent transferase
- Glutaminyl cyclase was expressed as a fully active 37 kDa enzyme with kcat/Km values of 14.3, 9.3, and 2.4 mM(-1)s(-1) for the substrates Gln-Gln, Gln-NH(2), and Gln-t-butyl ester, respectively
- Genetic variations in QPCT are important factors affecting the bone mineral density of adult women that contribute to susceptibility for osteoporosis.
- structure of human QC in free form and bound to a substrate and three imidazole-derived inhibitors
- Our results suggest that QPCT may be the QTL gene at chromosome 2p for spine BMD variation in the Chinese population
- combined steady-state enzyme kinetic and X-ray structural analyses of 11 single-mutation human QCs to investigate the roles of the H-bond network in catalysis
- The computations outline the important role of Trp329 in helping the substrate binding process and stabilizing the cyclization transition state.
- Golgi apparatus retention implies a "housekeeping" protein maturation machinery conducting glycosylation and pyroglutamyl formation. For these isoenzymes, apparently similar strategies evolved to retain the proteins in the Golgi complex.
