NCIt definition : Acylamino-acid-releasing enzyme (732 aa, 81 kDa) is encoded by the human APEH gene.
This protein plays a role in aminopeptidase activity.;
NCIt note : Acylamino-acid-releasing enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of the N-terminal peptide
bond of an N-acetylated peptide to generate a peptide with a free N-terminus. It preferentially
cleaves off Ac-Ala, Ac-Met and Ac-Ser. (UniProt);
