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
