title: [Leucine aminopeptidase (LAP)].
abstract: We regarded the aminopeptidase LAP (EC 3.4.11.1), AA (EC 3.4.11.2), and CAP (EC 3.4.11.3) as a group of enzymes and presented the method of their fractionation. In addition, we described that when an increase in serum "LAP" activity is observed, it is necessary to consider whether it is derived from LAP, AA, or CAP in order to use that data in clinical diagnosis.
