A membrane-bound aminopeptidase able to remove methionine from haemoglobin nascent peptides is described. The enzyme also hydrolyses methionine from methionyl-lysyl-bradykinin but not lysine from lysyl-bradykinin. The tripeptide Met-Ala-Ser is poorly hydrolysed. This aminopeptidase also splits amino acid 2-naphthylamides, being, however, less specific with respect to these synthetic substrates.
描述了一种能够从血红蛋白新生肽中去除甲硫氨酸的膜结合氨肽酶。该酶还能从甲硫氨酰 - 赖氨酰 - 缓激肽中水解甲硫氨酸,但不能从赖氨酰 - 缓激肽中水解赖氨酸。三肽甲硫氨酸 - 丙氨酸 - 丝氨酸水解程度较低。这种氨肽酶也能裂解氨基酸2 - 萘酰胺,然而,对于这些合成底物,其特异性较低。
