Exopeptidases
Exopeptidases are enzymes present with the gastrointestinal tract which cleave di- and tripeptides into their constituent amino acids. They differ from endopeptidases in that they target terminal peptide bonds. Both groups are peptidases.
Examples of exopeptidases include:
- carboxypeptidases
- aminopeptidases
- dipeptidases
