Accepted name: dipeptidyl-peptidase I
Reaction: Release of an N-terminal dipeptide, Xaa-Yaa┼Zaa-, except when Xaa is Arg or Lys, or Yaa or Zaa is Pro
Other name(s): cathepsin C; dipeptidyl aminopeptidase I; dipeptidyl transferase; dipeptide arylamidase I; DAP I
Comments: A Cl--dependent, lysosomal cysteine-type peptidase maximally active at acidic pH. Also polymerizes dipeptide amides, arylamides and esters at neutral pH. In peptidase family C1 (papain family).
