DESCRIPTION

Also known as AARE_ARATH, AARE. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the N-terminal peptide bond of an N-acetylated peptide to generate an N-acetylated amino acid and a peptide with a free N-terminus. Can degrade the glycated RuBisCO (ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) protein but not the native protein. May be involved in the elimination of glycated proteins (PubMed:12966075). Plays a homeostatic role in sustaining the cytoplasmic antioxidative system. May contribute to the elimination of the oxidized proteins in the cytoplasm (PubMed:22398639). Homotetramer.
