| basic FUNCTION
| catalyzing the inactivation of the antitumor drug BLM (a glycopeptide) by hydrolyzing the carboxamide bond of its B-aminoalaninamide moiety thus protecting normal and malignant cells from BLM toxicity |
|
cytosolic aminopeptidase that has been suggested to play a key role in generating MHC class I-presented peptides  |
|
does influence presentation of some Ags, although its role is largely redundant with other aminopeptidases |
|
its transcription would be modulated during both differentiation and inflammation |
|
with CTSZ, are both cysteine proteases of a papain-like structure, and mediate N-terminal proteolysis and toxicity of mutant huntingtin |
