MetAP Protein, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Recombinant (His & SUMO)

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) . Requires deformylation of the N (alpha) -formylated initiator methionine before it can be hydrolyzed.
