Abstract
The N-terminus of bradykinin is shown to be sequentially degraded by the human proline-specific aminopeptidases aminopeptidase P (EC 3.4.11.9) and dipeptidyl peptidase IV (EC 3.4.14.5). Additional evidence is provided for the hypothesis that these proline-specific aminopeptidases play an essential role in the degradation of peptides containing an N-terminal Xaa-Pro sequence.Entities:
