Accepted name: |
cytosol alanyl aminopeptidase |
Reaction: |
Release of an N-terminal amino acid, preferentially alanine, from a wide range of peptides, amides and arylamides |
Other name(s): |
arylamidase; aminopolypeptidase; thiol-activated aminopeptidase; human liver aminopeptidase; puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase; soluble alanyl aminopeptidase; cytosol aminopeptidase III; alanine aminopeptidase |
Comments: |
