Gamma-Glutamylglycine
C7H12N2O5 (204.07461819999997)
5-L-glutamylglycine is one of the dipeptides that is commonly produced from polypeptides by the action of the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase. Dietary proteins are digested to dipeptides and amino acids, and the dipeptides are absorbed more rapidly than the amino acids, because their uptake involves a separate mechanism. Dipeptides activate G-cells found in the stomach to secrete gastrin. 5-L-glutamylglycine is an excitatory amino acid receptor antagonist with a structure similar to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).

gamma-Glutamylalanine
C8H14N2O5 (218.09026740000002)
gamma-Glutamylalanine is a dipeptide composed of gamma-glutamate and alanine, and is a proteolytic breakdown product of larger proteins. It belongs to the family of N-acyl-alpha amino acids and derivatives. These are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an acyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom. gamma-Glutamylalanine is a natural substrate of the enzyme (5-L-glutamyl)-L-amino acid 5-glutamyltransferase (cyclizing) (g-glutamylcyclotransferase, EC 2.3.2.2) in the glutathione metabolism pathway, which cleaves gamma-glutamylalanine to produce L-5-oxoproline. gamma-Glutamylcyclotransferase is widely distributed in both human and animal tissues where it catalyzes the scission of the y-peptide bonds of many different gamma-glutamyl-amino acids and gamma-glutamyl-gamma-glutamyl-amino acids. The latter are better substrates of the enzyme than the corresponding gamma-glutamyl-amino acids (PMID: 2570694, 2893631). 5-L-Glutamyl-L-alanine is a natural substrate of the enzyme 5-L-glutamyl)-L-amino acid 5-glutamyltransferase (cyclizing) (g-glutamylcyclotransferase, EC 2.3.2.2) in the glutathione metabolism pathway, which cleaves 5-L-Glutamyl-L-alanine, producing L-5-oxoproline. gamma-Glutamylcyclotransferase is widely distributed in both human and animal tissues where it catalyzes the scission of the y-peptide bonds of many different gamma-glutamyl-aminoacids and gamma-glutamyl-gamma-glutamyl-amino-acids.
