EC 3.4.11.2     
Accepted name: membrane alanyl aminopeptidase
Reaction: Release of an N-terminal amino acid, Xaa┼Yaa- from a peptide, amide or arylamide. Xaa is preferably Ala, but may be most amino acids including Pro (slow action). When a terminal hydrophobic residue is followed by a prolyl residue, the two may be released as an intact Xaa-Pro dipeptide
Other name(s): microsomal aminopeptidase; aminopeptidase M; aminopeptidase N; particle-bound aminopeptidase; amino-oligopeptidase; alanine aminopeptidase; membrane aminopeptidase I; pseudo leucine aminopeptidase; alanyl aminopeptidase; alanine-specific aminopeptidase; cysteinylglycine dipeptidase; cysteinylglycinase; L-alanine aminopeptidase; CD13
Comments: A zinc enzyme, not activated by heavy metal ions. Type example of peptidase family M1.
