Signal peptidase II (EC 3.4.23.36, premurein-leader peptidase, prolipoprotein signal peptidase, leader peptidase II, premurein leader proteinase) is an enzyme. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Release of signal peptides from bacterial membrane prolipoproteins including murein prolipoprotein. Hydrolyses -Xaa-Yaa-Zaa-(S,diacylglyceryl)Cys-, in which Xaa is hydrophobic (preferably Leu), and Yaa (Ala or Ser) and Zaa (Gly or Ala) have small, neutral sidechains

This enzyme is present in bacterial inner membranes.
