Type

  • Topical Descriptor

Broader concept

Entry terms

  • Aminopeptidase A
  • Aminopeptidase, Aspartate
  • Aminopeptidase, Aspartyl
  • Angiotensinase A
  • Aspartate Aminopeptidase
  • Aspartyl Aminopeptidase

Scope note

  • A ZINC-dependent membrane-bound aminopeptidase that catalyzes the N-terminal peptide cleavage of GLUTAMATE (and to a lesser extent ASPARTATE). The enzyme appears to play a role in the catabolic pathway of the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM.

History note

  • 2004; use GLUTAMYL AMINPEPTIDASE (NM) 1980-2003
