DNPEP aspartyl aminopeptidase

Gene ID: 23549, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DAP; ASPEP

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is an aminopeptidase which prefers acidic amino acids, and specifically favors aspartic acid over glutamic acid. It is thought to be a cytosolic protein involved in general metabolism of intracellular proteins. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
