These peptidases have gamma-glutamyl hydrolase activity; that is they catalyse the cleavage of the gamma-glutamyl bond in poly-gamma-glutamyl substrates. They are structurally related to Pfam:PF00117, but contain extensions in four loops and at the C terminus [1].
gamma-glutamyl hydrolase is a lysosomal or secreted thiol-dependent peptidase most active at acidic pH that catalyses the cleavage of the gamma-glutamyl chain of folylpoly-gamma-glutamyl. Human gamma-glutamyl hydrolase (hGH) catalyses the hydrolysis of the gamma-linked polyglutamate chain of folyl- or antifolyl polyglutamates, releasing shorter chains of polyglutamates and diglutamates or glutamic acid.
