Preparation and Storage

Background: Aminopeptidase P2/XPNPEP2

The human XPNPEP2 gene encodes Aminopeptidase P2 (APP2), which is also known as X-prolyl Aminopeptidase 2 or membrane bound Aminopeptidase P (1‑4). It is a member of the M24 family of metalloproteases, which also contains methionine Aminopeptidases, X-Pro dipeptidase, Aminopeptidase P1, Aminopeptidase P homolog, proliferation-associated protein 1, and suppressor of Ty homolog or chromatin-specific transcription elongation factor large subunit (5). Mammalian APP2 are predicted to be GPI-anchored membrane proteases and their biological functions have been reviewed (6). Human APP2 is widely expressed in many adult tissues with the highest levels in the kidney (7). The purified recombinant human APP2 corresponds to the ectodomain and is shown here to be an active aminopeptidase, removing a N-terminal amino acid from a peptide that contains a Pro residue at the second position.
