EC 3.4.11.6     
Accepted name: aminopeptidase B
Reaction: Release of N-terminal Arg and Lys from oligopeptides when P1′ is not Pro. Also acts on arylamides of Arg and Lys
Glossary: amastatin = Leu[1Ψ2,CHOHCONH]ValValAsp
arphamenine A = Arg[1Ψ2,COCH2]Phe
arphamenine B = Arg[1Ψ2,COCH2]Tyr
bestatin = Phe[1Ψ2,CHOHCONH]Leu
Other name(s): arylamidase II; arginine aminopeptidase; arginyl aminopeptidase; Cl--activated arginine aminopeptidase; cytosol aminopeptidase IV; L-arginine aminopeptidase
Comments: Cytosolic or membrane-associated enzyme from mammalian tissues, activated by chloride ions and low concentrations of thiol compounds. This is one of the activities of the bifunctional enzyme EC 3.3.2.6 (membrane alanyl aminopeptidase family) [4,5].
