Preparation and Storage

Background: Carnosine Dipeptidase 1/CNDP1

The human CNDP1 gene encodes carnosine dipeptidase 1, a member of the M20 family of metalloproteases (1, 2). Also known as X-His dipeptidase, glutamate carboxypeptidase-like protein 2 (CPGL-2) or carnosinase 1 (CN1), CNDP1 is a secreted dipeptidase with a narrow specificity for Xaa-His dipeptides including those with Xaa = beta -Ala (carnosine) and Xaa = gamma -aminobutyric acid (homocarnosine), two naturally occurring dipeptides with potential neuroprotective and neurotransmitter fucntions in the brain. In comparison, a closely related protein known as CNDP2, CPGL or CN2, is a cytosolic nonspecific dipeptidase. CNDP1 consists of a signal peptide (residues 1 to 26) and the mature chain (residues 27 to 507). The amino acid sequence of human CNDP1 is 97%, 85%, 82% and 67% identical to that of chimpanzee, canine, mouse/rat and chicken.
