The origin of human seminal leucine aminopeptidase (LAP). 1979

M Oya, and A Kido, and Y Katsumata, and O Suzuki, and S Mizutani

Examination of the distribution of leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) activity in the male reproductive system showed the existence of the largest amounts of this enzyme in the prostate. Precipitin electrophoresis revealed that seminal LAP is immunologically identical with the prostatic enzyme and distinct from the enzymes in the other male reproductive organs. It was concluded that the origin of seminal LAP is the prostate, by which the enzyme is secreted into the seminal plasma.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007931 Leucyl Aminopeptidase A zinc containing enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the removal of the N-terminal amino acid from most L-peptides, particularly those with N-terminal leucine residues but not those with N-terminal lysine or arginine residues. This occurs in tissue cell cytosol, with high activity in the duodenum, liver, and kidney. The activity of this enzyme is commonly assayed using a leucine arylamide chromogenic substrate such as leucyl beta-naphthylamide.
