Aminopeptidase
Aminopeptidase is an enzyme crucial in protein metabolism, specifically in the breakdown of peptides. Operating as an exopeptidase, it catalyzes the hydrolysis of amino acids from the N-terminus of peptides and proteins. This essential biochemical process is fundamental to cellular function and nutrient absorption.
