The huge exopeptidase, tripeptidyl-peptidase II, is a large homooligomeric complex involved in a large number of important biological processes. It is present in the cytosol of most eukaryotic cells, where it removes tripeptides from free amino termini of longer peptides with a broad specificity. Its main role appears to be general protein degradation, together with the proteasome. (Adapted from PMID:31108122.)
