Function | Cotranslationally removes the N-terminal methionine from nascent proteins. The N-terminal methionine is often cleaved when the second residue in the primary sequence is small and uncharged (Met- Ala-, Cys, Gly, Pro, Ser, Thr, or Val). 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. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03175, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21537465}. Note=About 30% of expressed METAP2 associates with polysomes |
