Enables aminopeptidase activity. Involved in proteolysis. Located in fungal-type vacuole lumen. Orthologous to human DNPEP (aspartyl aminopeptidase).
SGD Description
Cytoplasmic aspartyl aminopeptidase with possible vacuole function; targeted to vacuole via Vps10p-dependent endosomal vacuolar protein sorting pathway and via CVT pathway; cleaves unblocked N-terminal acidic amino acids from peptide substrates; forms 12-subunit homo-oligomer; M18 metalloprotease family
