Facts about Presequence protease, mitochondrial.
Specifically cleaves peptides in the range of 5 to 65 residues (PubMed:19196155). Shows a preference for cleavage after little polar residues and before basic residues, but with no positional preference (PubMed:10360838, PubMed:19196155, PubMed:24931469).
