Methionine aminopeptidase 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the METAP2 gene.Methionine aminopeptidase 2 a member of the dimetallohydrolase family is a cytosolic metalloenzyme that catalyzes the hydrolytic removal of N-terminal methionine residues from nascent proteins. peptide-methionine peptide + methionineMetAP2 is found in all organisms and is especially important because of its critical role in tissue repair and protein degradation.
