#peptide cleavage
- Aminopeptidase — An enzyme of the exopeptidase class that catalyzes the specific hydrolysis of peptide bonds at the free N-terminal end of a polypeptide chain, successively releasing terminal amino acids. This biocatalyst plays an essential structural role in the final phases of protein digestion within the intestinal mucosa, as well as in intracellular protein degradation and recycling processes.
