PepB aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.23, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium peptidase B) is an enzyme[1] which catalyses the following chemical reaction:
- Release of an N-terminal amino acid, Xaa, from a peptide or arylamide.
Xaa is preferably Glu or Asp, but may be other amino acids, including Leu, Met, His, Cys and Gln.
