Peptidyl-dipeptidase Dcp (EC 3.4.15.5, dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase (Dcp), dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase) is an enzyme.[1][2][3] It catalyses the following chemical reaction

Hydrolysis of unblocked, C-terminal dipeptides from oligopeptides, with broad specificity. Does not hydrolyse bonds in which P1' is Pro, or both P1 and P1' are Gly

This zinc metallopeptidase is isolated from Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium.
