[Aminopeptidase M] In the nomenclature of CD antigens this protein has been given the designation CD13. This enzyme (EC3.4.11.2) catalyzes the sequential removal of amino acids from the aminotermini of polypeptide chains. The enzyme is the same as aminopeptidase N (Look et al, 1986, 1989).
Gros et al (1985) have identified aminopeptidase M purified from rat brain membranes as an enzyme that inactivates enkephalin. Furuhashi et al (1988) have reported that purified placental aminopeptidase M actively degrades Met-Enkephalin and Leu-Enkephalin completely into constituent 5 amino acids.
