| Accepted name: |
bacterial leucyl aminopeptidase |
| Reaction: |
Release of an N-terminal amino acid, preferentially leucine, but not glutamic or aspartic acids |
| Other name(s): |
Aeromonas proteolytica aminopeptidase |
| Comments: |
A zinc enzyme. Forms of the enzyme have been isolated from Aeromonas proteolytica, Escherichia coli and Streptococcus thermophilus. Examples are known from peptidase families M17 and M28 (of leucyl aminopeptidase and aminopeptidase Y, respectively) |
