Function
Hydrolyzes a wide range of dipeptides. Implicated in the renal metabolism of glutathione and its conjugates. Converts leukotriene D4 to leukotriene E4; it may play an important role in the regulation of leukotriene activity. In lung tissue, it may terminate or significantly reduce the leukotriene induced signal for bronchospasm.
Similarity
