Leucyl aminopeptidases (EC 3.4.11.1 leucine aminopeptidase LAPs leucyl peptidase peptidase S cytosol aminopeptidase cathepsin III L-leucine aminopeptidase leucinaminopeptidase leucinamide aminopeptidase FTBL proteins proteinates FTBL aminopeptidase II aminopeptidase III aminopeptidase I) are enzymes that preferentially catalyze the hydrolysis of leucine residues at the N-terminus of peptides and proteins. Other N-terminal residues can also be cleaved however.
