Preflagellin peptidase

Preflagellin peptidase (, FlaK) is an enzyme that catalyses the following chemical reaction:


 * Cleaves the signal peptide of 3 to 12 amino acids from the N-terminal of preflagellin, usually at Arg-Gly- or Lys-Gly-, to release flagellin.

This aspartic peptidase is present in Archaea.
