Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a signal peptide? The signal peptide targets proteins to the smooth ER. The signal peptide is localized at the amino terminus of a protein. The signal peptide contains a central hydrophobic amino acid sequence followed by polar amino acids near the signal peptidase cleavage site. The signal peptide characteristically is composed of 15-30 amino acids.
