Beta-Ala-His dipeptidase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CNDP1 gene.[1][2]

This gene encodes a member of the M20 metalloprotease family. The encoded protein is specifically expressed in the brain, is a homodimeric dipeptidase which was identified as human carnosinase. This gene contains trinucleotide (CTG) repeat length polymorphism in the coding region.[2]

The metabolic disorder Carnosinemia may be caused by mutations in this gene.
