C-terminal alpha -amidating enzyme preparations, including preparations AE-I, AE-II, AE-IIa and AE-IIb, from the skin of Xenopus laevis, wherein all components can convert a peptide having a glycine residue at its C-terminal to a C-terminal amidated peptide lacking the glycine residue, and have a common N-terminal amino acid sequence represented by Ser-Leu-Ser---, and AE-I and AE-IIa have a molecular weight of about 39,000, AE-IIb has a molecular weight of about 34,000, and AE-II comprises two components having molecular weight of about 39,000 and 34,000; a process for production of the above-mentioned enzyme preparations; and a process for alpha -amidation of a peptide by using the above mentioned enzyme preparations.
