Leucyl Aminopeptidase

L-Leucylnaphthylamidase; Methoxyleucine Aminopeptidase; Peptidase S; Zinc-Manganese-Leucine Aminopeptidase; Aminopeptidase, Cytosol; Aminopeptidase, Leucine; Aminopeptidase, Leucyl; Aminopeptidase, Methoxyleucine; Aminopeptidase, Zinc-Manganese-Leucine
A zinc containing enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the removal of the N-terminal amino acid from most L-peptides, particularly those with N-terminal leucine residues but not those with N-terminal lysine or arginine residues. This occurs in tissue cell cytosol, with high activity in the duodenum, liver, and kidney. EC 3.4.11.1
