title: Metalloexopeptidase
text: A metalloexopeptidase is a type of enzyme that acts as a metalloproteinase exopeptidase. These enzymes have a catalytic mechanism involving a metal, often zinc. They function in molecular biology as agents that cut the terminal peptide bonds ending peptide chains. Analogous to slicing the end off a loaf of bread, the process releases a single amino acid for use.
