Dipeptidyl-peptidase III (EC 3.4.14.4, dipeptidyl aminopeptidase III, dipeptidyl arylamidase III, enkephalinase B, red cell angiotensinase) is an enzyme.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Release of an N-terminal dipeptide from a peptide comprising four or more residues, with broad specificity. Also acts on dipeptidyl 2-naphthylamides.

This cytosolic peptidase that is active at neutral pH.
