Oligopeptidase A

Oligopeptidase A (, 68000-M signalpeptide hydrolase) is an enzyme. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * Hydrolysis of oligopeptides, with broad specificity. Gly or Ala commonly occur as P1 or P1' residues, but more distant residues are also important, as is shown by the fact that Z-Gly-Pro-Gly-Gly-Pro-Ala is cleaved, but not Z-(Gly) 5

This enzyme is known from Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium.
