Gamma-glutamyl hydrolase

UniProtKB accession:  Q92820

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Hydrolyzes the polyglutamate sidechains of pteroylpolyglutamates. Progressively removes gamma-glutamyl residues from pteroylpoly-gamma-glutamate to yield pteroyl-alpha-glutamate (folic acid) and free glutamate (PubMed:11005824, PubMed:8816764). May play an important role in the bioavailability of dietary pteroylpolyglutamates and in the metabolism of pteroylpolyglutamates and antifolates.
