Gene Information
human ... ENPEP(2028)
General description
ENPEP gene encodes the protein aminopeptidase A (APA), which is a membrane-bound ectopeptidase belonging to the zinc metalloprotease family. APA is expressed in a wide range of tissues, including the brain. Human ENPEP is localised to the chromosomal region 4q25. Human APA expressed in kidney is called gp160 and has a molecular weight of 160kDa.
Immunogen
Glutamyl aminopeptidase recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
APA (aminopeptidase A) that is encoded by ENPEP gene cleaves acidic residues, such as aspartate and glutamate, from the N- terminal of its substrates and its activity is modulated by calcium levels. It is one of the key enzymes in the central renin-angiotensin system, and regulates hypertension. It converts angiotensin II to angiotensin III by cleaving the N-terminal aspartate residue. gp160 plays a key role in the development of kidney, and therefore is also known as the human kidney differentiation antigen. APA activity has been shown to be decreased in various renal cell carcinomas as compared to normal renal cells. This might lead to an increase in the level of angiotensin II in renal carcinomas, hence contributing to angiogenesis. It has been suggested that the formation of Amyloid β peptides is facilitated by APA, where it truncates the full length Amyloid β at the N-terminal.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Advances in the knowledge of renal neoplasms have demonstrated the implication of several proteases in their genesis, growth and dissemination. Glutamyl-aminopeptidase (GAP) (EC. 3.4.11.7) is a zinc metallopeptidase with angiotensinase activity highly expressed in kidney tissues and its expression and

Hypertension is regulated through both the central and systemic renin-angiotensin systems. In the central renin-angiotensin system, zinc-dependent aminopeptidase A (APA) up-regulates blood pressure by specifically cleaving the N-terminal aspartate, but not the adjacent arginine, from angiotensin II, a process facilitated
