Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: N/A
- UniProt Summary: Broad specificity aminopeptidase which plays a role in the final digestion of peptides generated from hydrolysis of proteins by gastric and pancreatic proteases. Also involved in the processing of various peptides including peptide hormones, such as angiotensin III and IV, neuropeptides, and chemokines. May also be involved the cleavage of peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex class II molecules of antigen presenting cells. May have a role in angiogenesis and promote cholesterol crystallization. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10605003, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10676659, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11384645, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12473585, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7576235, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8102610, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9056417}. (Microbial infection) Mediates as well Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8105105}.
