In this study the substrate specificity of a pyroglutamate aminopeptidase from synaptosomal membranes of guinea-pig brain was investigated. The enzyme was found to be specific for tripeptides, tripeptide-amides and tetrapeptides which possess the N-terminal sequence Glp-His and as such is specific for Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone or only very closely related peptides. The enzyme was found not to hydrolyse a number of analogues of Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone which have been shown to have therapeutical value in certain neuronal disorders.
