Protein name Methionine aminopeptidase 2 (MAP 2) (MetAP 2) (EC 3.4.11.18) (Initiation factor 2-associated 67 kDa glycoprotein) (p67) (p67eIF2) (Peptidase M)
Protein function Cotranslationally removes the N-terminal methionine from nascent proteins. The N-terminal methionine is often cleaved when the second residue in the primary sequence is small and uncharged (Met-Ala-, Cys, Gly, Pro, Ser, Thr, or Val). The catalyt
