Previous studies highlighted that aminopeptidase N (APN)/CD13 acts as a scavenger in the survival of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) stem cells by reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Hence, it has been proposed that APN/CD13 inhibition can increase cellular ROS levels
A general method for detecting leucyl aminopeptidase activity after native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) in situ is described. The method is based on diazotization of p-nitroaniline, liberated in the polyacrylamide gel by leucyl aminopeptidase action on leucine-p-nitroanilide (LpNA) and subsequent

The structural gene for the Vibrio cholerae leucine aminopeptidase (lap) was cloned and sequenced. The cloned DNA fragment contained a 1,503-bp open reading frame potentially encoding a 501-amino-acid polypeptide with a calculated molecular mass of 54,442 Da. The deduced amino
