Enzymes catalyze fundamental biochemical reactions that control cellular and organismal homeostasis. Here we present an approach for de novo biochemical pathway discovery across entire mammalian enzyme families using parallel viral transduction in mice and untargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Applying this method to the M20 peptidases uncovers both known pathways of amino acid metabolism as well as a previously unknown CNDP2-regulated pathway for threonyl dipeptide catabolism. Ablation of CNDP2 in mice elevates threonyl dipeptides across multiple tissues, establishing the physiologic relevance of our biochemical assignments. Taken together, these data underscore the utility of parallel in vivo metabolomics for the family-wide discovery of enzymatic pathways.

their unique features and diverse biological functions. Achieving rapid separation and accurate quantification, however, remains a challenge because of their low abundance and the co-existence of numerous structural isomers. In this study, we developed a novel approach using isotopechemical labeling for ultrasensitive determination of di/tripeptides in biologicalsamples. We successfully synthesized a
