Aminopeptidase A (APA), also known as glutamyl aminopeptidase, is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 4q25. APA is a type II membrane-bound protein. It is expressed in variety of organisms including, animal and plant tissues as well as in bacteria and fungi.
Immunogen
Peptide with sequence C-EQYQKTSLAQEKEK from the internal region of the protein sequence according to NP_001968.2.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Aminopeptidase A (APA) catalyzes the hydrolysis of an N-terminal peptide bond containing N-terminal glutamic acid or aspartic acid. It also plays a vital role in controlling blood pressure in the brain renin-angiotensin system. APA facilitates various processes such as protein maturation, activation, regulation, the degradation of bioactive peptides and in the determination of protein stability.
