Gamma-glutamyl hydrolase (Q9Z0L8)

Uniprot ID Q9Z0L8
Protein Name Gamma-glutamyl hydrolase
Gene Name Ggh
Species Mus musculus (Mouse)
Signal peptide(a) Y Secretome P(b) 0.795
Function 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. May play an important role in the bioavailability of dietary pteroylpolyglutamates and in the metabolism of pteroylpolyglutamates and antifolates. Acts as endopeptidase. Lysosomal enzyme is activated by sulfhydryl compounds.

(a) The Signal peptide D-score cutoff for "YES"(having signal peptide) is 0.45.
(b) Non-classically secreted proteins should obtain an NN-score(Neural Networks score) exceeding the normal threshold of 0.5, but not at the same time be predicted to contain a signal peptide.
