Function: Aminopeptidase that plays a central role in peptide trimming, a step required for the generation of most HLA class I- binding peptides. Peptide trimming is essential to customize longer precursor peptides to fit them to the correct length required for presentation on MHC class I molecules. Strongly prefers substrates 9-16 residues long. Rapidly degrades 13-mer to a 9-mer and then stops. Preferentially hydrolyzes the residue Leu and peptides with a hydrophobic C-terminus, while it has weak activity toward peptides with charged C-terminus. May play a role in the inactivation of peptide hormones. May be involved in the regulation of blood pressure through the inactivation of angiotensin II and/or the generation of bradykinin in the kidney.
Catalytic activity: Release of an N-terminal amino acid, Xaa-|- Xbb-, in which Xaa is preferably Leu, but may be other amino acids including Met, Cys and Phe.
Cellular location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein (Probable).
Tissue specificity: Ubiquitous.
