The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of many signaling peptides and some fatty acid amides.[5]

In humans, the enzyme is encoded by the PAM gene.[6][7] This transformation is achieved by conversion of a prohormone to the corresponding amide (C(O)NH2). This enzyme is the only known pathway for generating peptide amides, which renders the peptide more hydrophilic.[8]

Function

This gene encodes a multifunctional protein. It has two enzymatically active domains with catalytic activities - peptidylglycine alpha-hydroxylating monooxygenase (PHM) and peptidyl-alpha-hydroxyglycine alpha-amidating lyase (PAL). These catalytic domains work sequentially to catalyze neuroendocrine peptides to active alpha-amidated products. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene, but some of their full-length sequences are not yet known.[7]

The PHM subunit effects hydroxylation of an O-terminal glycine residue:

peptide-C(O)NHCH2CO2 + O2 + 2 [H] → peptide-C(O)NHCH(OH)CO2 + H2O

Involving hydroxylation of a hydrocarbon by O2, this process relies on a copper cofactor. Dopamine beta-hydroxylase, also a copper-containing enzyme, effects a similar transformation.[9]

The PAL subunit then completes the conversion, by catalyzing elimination from the hydroxylated glycine:

peptide-C(O)NHCH(OH)CO2 → peptide-C(O)NH2 + CH(O)CO2

The eliminated coproduct is glyoxylate, written above as CH(O)CO2.
