Mitochondrial processing peptidase
Mitochondrial processing peptidase (EC 3.4.24.64, processing enhancing peptidase (for one of two subunits), mitochondrial protein precursor-processing proteinase, matrix peptidase, matrix processing peptidase, matrix processing proteinase, MPP) is an enzyme.[1][2][3][4][5] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- Release of N-terminal targetting peptides from precursor proteins imported into the mitochondrion, typically with Arg in position P2
This enzyme is present the mitochondrial matrix of fungi and mammals.
