2.18 The enzyme, cathepsin, hydrolyzes L-glutamyl-L-tyrosine to carbobenzoxy-L-glutamic acid


and L-tyrosine. It has been found (Frantz and Stephenson, J. Biol. Chem., 169, 359, 1947) that the
glutamic acid formed in the hydrolysis, inhibits (competitively) the progress of the reaction by
forming a complex with cathepsin. The course of the reaction is followed by adding tyrosine
decarboxylase which evolves CO2.
