Muramoyltetrapeptide carboxypeptidase
Muramoyltetrapeptide carboxypeptidase (EC 3.4.17.13, carboxypeptidase IIW, carboxypeptidase II, lysyl-D-alanine carboxypeptidase, L-lysyl-D-alanine carboxypeptidase, LD-carboxypeptidase) is an enzyme.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- Hydrolysis of the bond: N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-Ala-D-glutamyl-6-carboxy-L-lysyl--D-alanine
Variants are known from various microorganisms.
