Removes the N-terminal methionine from nascent proteins. The catalytic activity of human METAP2 toward Met-Val peptides is consistently two orders of magnitude higher than that of METAP1, suggesting that it is responsible for processing proteins containing N-terminal Met-Val and Met-Thr sequences in vivo
Tissue Specificity
This METAP2 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide selected from the amino acids 15-45 of human METAP2.
Cellular Localization
Cytoplasm. Note=About 30% of expressed METAP2 associates with polysomes
