QPCT, Official Symbol QPCTprovided by HGNC Official Full Name glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferaseprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:9753 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000115828 MIM:607065; AllianceGenome:HGNC:9753 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as QC; GCT; sQC Summary This gene encodes human pituitary glutaminyl cyclase, which is responsible for the presence of pyroglutamyl residues in many neuroendocrine peptides. The amino acid sequence of this enzyme is 86% identical to that of bovine glutaminyl cyclase.
