NCBI Description of NPEPPS
This gene encodes the puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase, a zinc metallopeptidase which hydrolyzes amino acids from the N-terminus of its substrate. The protein has been localized to both the cytoplasm and to cellular membranes. This enzyme degrades enkaphalins in the brain, and studies in mouse suggest that it is involved in proteolytic events regulating the cell cycle. CCDS Note: Experimental evidence (N-terminal protein sequencing; PubMed ID 10978616) shows a peptide starting at Pro-46, suggesting that the downstream ATG (coding for Met-45) is used.
