Reaction Schemes
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
Synonyms
aminopeptidase, aminopeptidase n, dipeptidase, aminopeptidase m, alanine aminopeptidase, apn/cd13, gp150, aminopeptidase-n, anpep, alanyl aminopeptidase,
