Xaa-Pro dipeptidyl-peptidase

Xaa-Pro dipeptidyl-peptidase (, X-prolyl dipeptidyl aminopeptidase, PepX, X-prolyl dipeptidyl peptidase is an enzyme. It catalyses the following chemical reaction

Hydrolyses Xaa-Pro bonds to release unblocked, N-terminal dipeptides from substrates including Ala-Pro-p-nitroanilide and (sequentially) Tyr-Pro--Phe-Pro--Gly-Pro--Ile
