| Accepted name: |
mitochondrial intermediate peptidase |
| Reaction: |
Release of an N-terminal octapeptide as second stage of processing of some proteins imported into the mitochondrion |
| Other name(s): |
mitochondrial intermediate precursor-processing proteinase; MIP |
| Comments: |
A homologue of thimet oligopeptidase. Natural substrates are precursor proteins that have already been processed by mitochondrial processing peptidase. In peptidase family M3 (thimet oligopeptidase family) |
