Qpct - glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferase (glutaminyl cyclase)

Predicted to enable glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferase activity and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in peptidyl-pyroglutamic acid biosynthetic process, using glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferase. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; future brain; integumental system; and placenta. Orthologous to human QPCT (glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
