Acylamino-acid-releasing enzyme

UniProtKB accession:  P19205

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of the N-terminal peptide bond of an N-acetylated peptide to generate an N-acetylated amino acid and a peptide with a free N-terminus (By similarity). It preferentially cleaves off Ac-Ala, Ac-Met and Ac-Ser (By similarity). Also, involved in the degradation of oxidized and glycated proteins (By similarity).
