additional information Homo sapiens the enzyme is important for the degradation of some specific substrates, e.g. the neuropeptide cholecystokinin. It is likely that the main biological function of tripeptidyl-peptidase II is to participate in a general intracellular protein turnover. This peptidase may act on oligopeptides generated by the proteasome, or other endopeptidases, and the tripeptides formed would subsequently be good substrates for other exopeptidases. Tripeptidyl-peptidase II activity is increased in sepsis-induced muscle wasting, a situation of enhanced protein turnover ?
