QPCT encodes human pituitary glutaminyl cyclase, which is responsible for the presence of pyroglutamyl residues in many neuroendocrine peptides. The amino acid sequence of this enzyme is 86% identical to that of bovine glutaminyl cyclase.
The deduced 361-amino acid protein has a calculated molecular mass of about 41 kD. It contains an N-terminal signal peptide region, several glycosylation and phosphorylation sites, and 2 cysteine residues conserved between the bovine and human enzymes. QPCT shares 86% overall sequence identity with the bovine homolog.Glutaminyl cyclase expression was upregulated in the cortices of individuals with Alzheimer disease and correlated with the appearance of pE-modified amyloid beta.
