A tool that draws peptide primary structure and calculates theoretical peptide properties.

Glu-Glu is a dipeptide composed of two L-glutamic acid units joined by a peptide linkage. It has a role as a Mycoplasma genitalium metabolite. It is functionally related to a L-glutamic acid. Glu-glu has been reported in Arabidopsis thaliana, Bos taurus, …

Jul 1, 2021 · γ-Glutamyl peptides have been reported to exhibit diverse bioactivities, including anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic and appetite-suppressing effects as well as the ameliorating effect on colon health, which are attributed to CaSR activation.

Sep 1, 2019 · γ-Glutamyl peptides, including γ-glutamyl dipeptides, tripeptides, and sulfur-containing γ-glutamyl-S-alk(en)yl-l-cysteine, are widely found in edible legumes, alliaceae, and fermented foods like soy sauce and cheese.

GGT in the extracellular space removes the γ-glutamyl moiety of glutathione, which results in either a Glu and Cys-Gly dipeptide by means of hydrolytic activity or a new γ-glutamyl peptide by means of transferase activity.

Jan 5, 2021 · Here, we find that cystine starvation of non-small-cell lung cancer cell lines induces an unexpected accumulation of γ-glutamyl-peptides, which are produced due to a non-canonical activity of glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC).

Oct 1, 2022 · γ-Glutamyl peptides are small molecular peptides that greatly influence the perception of kokumi taste. Multiple natural peptides, including γ-glutamyl di- and tripeptides and their derivatives, have been isolated and identified from various foodstuffs.

Our results demonstrated that γ-glutamyl peptides, particularly γ-EVG, are produced in yeast as products of several physiologically important reactions and are therefore natural components of yeast cells. The most well-known γ-glutamyl compound is the tripeptide γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine, also known as glutathione (γ-Glu-Cys-Gly, GSH).

Jun 21, 2022 · γ-Glutamyl peptides (γ-GPs) are a group of peptides naturally found in various food sources. The unique γ-bond potentially enables them to resist gastrointestinal digestion and offers high stability in vivo with a longer half-life.

Mar 21, 2025 · Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, which are specialized linkages between the nitrogen atom of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another. Like proteins , peptides belong to a broader category known as polypeptides.
