Pyroglutamyl-peptidase I (PGPEP1) is a gene located on chromosome 19q13.33, encoding an enzyme involved in the removal of pyroglutamyl residues from the N-terminus of peptides and proteins. This enzymatic activity is fundamental in protein processing and metabolism, ensuring proper protein maturation and degradation. PGPEP1 is expressed in multiple tissues, including the liver and kidney, and plays a role in the regulation of biological processes by modulating the activity and stability of pyroglutamyl-containing bioactive peptides. The enzyme's function is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and can influence physiological pathways such as hormone regulation and immune responses. Dysregulation or mutations in PGPEP1 may impact peptide function and have potential implications for various diseases, although the specific clinical significance is still being researched. Insights into PGPEP1's function are contributing to the understanding of protease-related disorders and therapeutic strategies targeting peptide metabolism.
