Metallocarboxypeptidase that mediates deglutamylation of tubulin and non-tubulin target proteins. Catalyzes the removal of polyglutamate side chains present on the gamma-carboxyl group of glutamate residues within the C-terminal tail of tubulin protein. Specifically cleaves tubulin long-side-chains, while it is not able to remove the branching point glutamate. Also catalyzes the removal of polyglutamate residues from the carboxy-terminus of non-tubulin proteins such as MYLK. (L-glutamyl)(n+1)-gamma-L-glutamyl-L-glutamyl-[protein] + H2O = (L-glutamyl)(n)-gamma-L-glutamyl-L-glutamyl-[protein] + L-glutamate C-terminal L-alpha-aminoacyl-L-glutamyl-L-glutamyl-[tubulin] + H2O = C-terminal L-alpha-aminoacyl-L-glutamyl-[tubulin] + L-glutamate Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit. Interacts with MYLK (By similarity). Interacts with TCF4 (PubMed:24094747). Expressed in corneal endothelium. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Belongs to the peptidase M14 family. Unlikely isoform. Probable cloning artifact. Unlikely isoform. Probable cloning artifact.
