- None
- Molecular classification
- Enzyme, Metalloenzyme
01
Overview
Aminopeptidases are a diverse group of zinc-dependent metalloenzymes that catalyze the removal of amino acids from the N-terminus of proteins and peptides. They play essential roles in protein digestion, cell growth, immune response, and other cellular processes. Some are bifunctional, exhibiting dual substrate specificity or multiple catalytic activities within one enzyme molecule. These enzymes are implicated in various diseases, making them potential therapeutic targets.
