Beschreibung

General description

Human neutral endopeptidase (Neprilysin) is single pass type II integral membrane endopeptidase that functions to activate and degrade biologically active enzymes. Endopeptidase,in general, function to cleave peptide bonds within enzyme sequences, in contrast to exopeptidases that target the end sequence. Neprilysin is part of the peptidase M13 family that acts on polypeptides of less than 30 amino acids with Thermolysin-like specificity for cleave sites. Thermolysin is thought to cleave before amino acids Ile, Met, Phe, Trpm or Val (unless Pro precedes) and after Ala, Asp, His, or Thr. Neprilysin preferentially cleaves polypeptides between hydrophobic residues, particularly with Phe or Tyr at position 1. Neprilysin research has found it important in the degradation of opioid peptides such as Met- and Leu-enkephalins by cleavage of a Gly-Phe bond. Research has found it may function in the degradation of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). Upregulation of ANF functions to regulate homeostatis of water, sodium, potassium and adipose in response to high blood pressure in muscle cells of the heart.
