ID   3.4.19.1
DE   Acylaminoacyl-peptidase.
AN   Acylamino-acid-releasing enzyme.
AN   N-acylpeptide hydrolase.
CA   Cleavage of an N-acetyl or N-formyl amino acid from the N-terminus of a
CA   polypeptide.
CC   -!- Best if P1 = Ser, Ala, Met; poor if P1 = Gly, Tyr, Asp, Asn or Pro.
CC   -!- Group of similar enzymes liberating N-acetyl or N-formyl amino acid
CC       from proteins and peptides.
CC   -!- Active at neutral pH.
CC   -!- Several variants of this enzyme exist; the human erythrocyte enzyme
CC       is relatively specific for removal of N-acetylalanine from peptides.
CC   -!- Display dipeptidyl-peptidase activity on glycyl-peptides, perhaps as
CC       a result of misrecognition of the glycyl residue as an uncharged
CC       N-acyl group.
CC   -!- Inhibited by diisopropyl fluorophosphate.
CC   -!- Belongs to peptidase family S9C.
CC   -!- Formerly EC 3.4.14.3.
