| Accepted name: |
aspartyl aminopeptidase |
| Reaction: |
Release of an N-terminal aspartate or glutamate from a peptide, with a preference for aspartate |
| Comments: |
Aminoacyl-arylamides are poor substrates. This is an abundant cytosolic enzyme in mammalian cells, in peptidase family M18 of aminopeptidase I |
