Preflagellin peptidase (EC 3.4.23.52, FlaK) is an enzyme with systematic name '.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Cleaves the signal peptide of 3 to 12 amino acids from the N-terminal of preflagellin, usually at Arg-Gly- or Lys-Gly-, to release flagellin.

This aspartic peptidase is present in Archaea.
