Descripción

General description

Aminopeptidase M (APM) is abundantly found in brush border membranes of the kidney, small intestine, placenta, and liver. It is a type II integral membrane protein, known as ectoenzyme.

Application

Aminopeptidase M, porcine kidney has been used:

• to test and identify the peaks containing d-residue in the allatotropin-related peptide (ATRP)
• to study its oxidative inactivation of enzyme activity, and to screen MIRA ingredients
• for the proteolysis of isolevuglandins (IsoLGs) proteins

Biochem/physiol Actions

Aminopeptidase M (APM) is implicated in terminating the actions of certain neuropeptides, like the enkephalins and angiotensin III in the brain. It also metabolizes specific vasoactive peptides. It functions as a receptor for certain viruses, such as coronavirus 229E. APM is a nonspecific peptidase, which rapidly breaks down l-residue peptides.

Packaging

Please refer to vial label for lot-specific concentration.

Physical form

Crystalline suspension in 3.2 M (NH₄)₂SO₄, 10 mM MgCl₂, 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5.

Other Notes

One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will hydrolyze 1 µmol of Leu-pNA per min at 37°C, pH 7.2.
