description: This family consists of a number of bacterial and phage proteins that function as gamma-PGA
  hydrolase enzymes [[cite:PUB00078732]]. Structurally the protein in this family adopted an open alpha/beta
  mixed core structure with a seven-stranded parallel/anti-parallel beta-sheet. This structure shows similarity
  to mammalian carboxypeptidase A and related enzymes.
