eksopeptidaaseiksi
Eksopeptidaaseiksi refers to a class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide bonds at the terminal amino or carboxyl end of a polypeptide chain. These enzymes are distinct from endopeptidases, which cleave peptide bonds within the polypeptide chain. Eksopeptidaaseiksi are involved in a variety of biological processes, including protein degradation, protein maturation, and the regulation of peptide hormone activity.
There are two main types of eksopeptidaaseiksi: aminopeptidases and carboxypeptidases. Aminopeptidases remove amino acids from the
In humans, eksopeptidaaseiksi play crucial roles in digestion, where they break down dietary proteins into smaller
