N-Formylmethionyl-peptidase

N-formylmethionyl-peptidase (EC 3.4.19.7, (fMet)-releasing enzyme, formylmethionine aminopeptidase) is an enzyme.^[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Release of an N-terminal, formyl-methionyl residue from a polypeptide

This enzyme is highly specific for N-formylmethionyl peptides.
