Glutamyl Aminopeptidase

Glutamylaminopeptidas

Svensk definition

Ett zinkberoende, membranbundet aminopeptidas som katalyserar klyning av N-terminalpeptiden hos glutamat (och i viss mån aspartat). Enzymet tycks spela en roll i det katabola förloppet i renin-angiotensinsystemet. EC 3.4.11.7.

Engelsk definition
