XPNPEP3

Xaa-Pro aminopeptidase 3, also known as aminopeptidase P3, is an is_associated_with::enzyme that in humans is encoded by the XPNPEP3 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
XPNPEP3 belongs to a family of X-pro-aminopeptidases (EC 3.4.11.9) that utilize a metal cofactor and remove the N-terminal amino acid from peptides with a proline residue in the penultimate position.

Clinical significance
Mutations in the XPNPEP3 gene are associated with is_associated_with::ciliopathy.
