**Background of QPCTL Recombinant Protein**
QPCTL (glutaminyl peptide cyclotransferase-like) is a member of the QC enzyme family, which catalyzes the cyclization of N-terminal glutaminyl or glutamyl residues into pyroglutamate (pGlu) in peptides and proteins. This post-translational modification plays a critical role in stabilizing protein structures, modulating biological activity, and influencing resistance to proteolytic degradation. QPCTL shares structural and functional similarities with its homolog QPCT (glutaminyl cyclase), but it exhibits distinct substrate preferences and tissue expression patterns, suggesting specialized roles in physiological and pathological processes.
The enzyme has garnered attention for its involvement in neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. For instance, QPCTL contributes to the formation of pGlu-modified amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptides, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease, by promoting Aβ aggregation and toxicity. It also regulates chemokine activity (e.g., CCL2. CX3CL1) by modifying their N-termini, thereby influencing immune cell recruitment and inflammation.
Recombinant QPCTL protein is produced using heterologous expression systems (e.g., *E. coli* or mammalian cells) to ensure high purity and enzymatic activity. This engineered protein serves as a vital tool for studying pGlu-dependent mechanisms, screening inhibitors for therapeutic development, and elucidating structural features of the enzyme. Its applications extend to drug discovery, particularly in targeting neurodegenerative disorders and chronic inflammatory conditions.
Research on QPCTL continues to uncover its regulatory roles in immunity, metabolism, and disease progression, positioning it as a promising biomarker and therapeutic target.
