Abstract
Vitamin K-dependent carboxylation of synthetic Phe-Leu-Glu-Glu-Val by rat liver microsomes yields a secondary product, which has been identified as Leu-Gla-Glu-Val. Similar results are obtained with other synthetic substrates. The microsomal preparation has been shown to contain an amino-peptidase activity which splits carboxylation products and substrates but is unable to hydrolyse the Leu-Gla peptide bond.
