Members of this family are zinc metallopeptidases with a range of specificities. The peptidase family M23 is included in this family, these are Gly-Gly endopeptidases. Peptidase family M23 are also endopeptidases. This family also includes some bacterial lipoproteins such as Swiss:P33648 for which no proteolytic activity has been demonstrated. This family also includes leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2) proteins. LECT2 is a liver-specific protein which is thought to be linked to hepatocyte growth although the exact function of this protein is unknown.

This is the extracellular domain (ECD) found in FtsX enzyme, a homolog of the transmembrane PG-hydrolase regulator. The FtsX extracellular domain binds the PG peptidase Rv2190c/RipC N-terminal segment, causing a conformational change that activates the enzyme ileading to PG hydrolysis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Structural analysis of FtsX ECD reveals fold containing two lobes connected by a flexible hinge. Mutations in the hydrophobic cleft between the lobes showed reduction in RipC binding in vitro and inhibition of FtsX function in Mycobacterium smegmatis [1].
