Acylaminoacyl-peptidase (EC 3.4.19.1, acylamino-acid-releasing enzyme, N-acylpeptide hydrolase, N-formylmethionine (fMet) aminopeptidase, alpha-N-acylpeptide hydrolase) is an enzyme.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Cleavage of an N-acetyl or N-formyl amino acid from the N-terminus of a polypeptide

This enzyme is active at neutral pH.
