Aspartyl aminopeptidase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DNPEP gene.[5][6]

Function

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 the general metabolism of intracellular proteins.[6]
