Reaction: Differs from other aminopeptidases in broad specificity for amino acids in the P1 position and the ability to hydrolyse peptides of four or five residues that contain Pro in the P1' position
Comments: A zinc glycoprotein In peptidase family M1 (membrane alanyl aminopeptidase family), composed of two 150 kDa subunits. From the plasma fraction of hen egg yolk
