Methionine aminopeptidase 2

UniProtKB accession:  P9WK19

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Removes the N-terminal methionine from nascent proteins. The N-terminal methionine is often cleaved when the second residue in the primary sequence is small and uncharged (Met-Ala-, Cys, Gly, Pro, Ser, Thr, or Val). Requires deformylation of the N(alpha)-formylated initiator methionine before it can be hydrolyzed.
