Abstract

This chapter deals with disorders in the catabolism of the dipeptides carnosine (carnosinemia) and homocarnosine (homocarnosinosis) and of the imidodipeptides (imidodipeptiduria, prolidase or peptidase D deficiency) Diseases due to defects in the metabolism of the tripeptide glutathione are discussed in Larsson (this volume).
