IUBMB Comments
This enzyme was thought to form AMP [1,2], but studies with highly purified enzyme proved that it forms ADP . Carnosine is a dipeptide that is present at high concentrations in skeletal muscle and the olfactory bulb of vertebrates . It is also found in the skeletal muscle of some invertebrates. The enzyme can also catalyse the formation of homocarnosine from 4-aminobutanoate and L-histidine, with much lower activity .
