Gene: [15q2/PEPN] aminopeptidase N (antigen CD13; p150; alanyl aminopeptidase); glycoprotein p150 (CD13; leukocyte; aminopeptidase N);
COM | [1]
According to A-B-C-D-E-S aminopeptidase nomenclature, the enzyme PEPN
corresponds to aminopeptidase E (Kruse-1988). On the other hand, the gene
for aminopeptidase E is mapped in the human genome in Chr 17 (GEM:17q2/PEPE; Wilson-1984). [2] The old code for aminopeptidase N is EC:3.4.1.1." |
MOP | The rpoduct of PEPN was originally identified as a glycoprotein with MM 150 kD, recognized with antibodies MY7 and MCS2. Afterwards, its aminopeptidase activity was found and confirmed (Look-1989). The enzyme is assigned to the family of zinc-containing proteinases." |
FUN | Aminopeptidase N splits out almost every N-terminal amino acid though it is especially active with respect to Ala." |
TIS | Aminopeptidase N is located on the epithelial cell membranes of kidney and intestine microvilli, as well as on cytoplasmic membranes of some other cells." |
FAG | Several peptidase genes have been mapped in the human genome, see GEM:18q23/PEPA." |
