Synonym | Neprilysin; Atriopeptidase; Common acute lymphocytic leukemia antigen; CALLA; Enkephalinase; Neutral endopeptidase 24.11; NEP; Neutral endopeptidase; Skin fibroblast elastase; SFE; CD10; MME; EPN |
Gene Background | Neprilysin/CD10(NEP) is a zinc metallopeptidase expressed at the cell surface of a variety of cells. The functions is both as an endopeptidase with a thermolysin-like specificity and as a dipeptidyl-carboxypeptidase. NEP has been shown to be involved in the degradation of enkephalins in the mammalian brain and the inactivation of circulating atrial natriuretic peptide. NEP has also been identified as the common acute lymphocytic leukemia antigen (CALLA), and is expressed on the surface of lymphocytes in some disease states. These and other observations have resulted in considerable interest in NEP as a target for analgesics and antihypertensive drugs. NEP is also a major degrading enzyme of amyloid β peptide (Aβ) in the brain, indicating that down-regulation of NEP activity, which could be caused by aging, can contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s disease by promoting Aβ accumulation. |

Target Details
Target Function | Thermolysin-like specificity, but is almost confined on acting on polypeptides of up to 30 amino acids. Biologically important in the destruction of opioid peptides such as Met- and Leu-enkephalins by cleavage of a Gly-Phe bond. Able to cleave angiotensin-1, angiotensin-2 and angiotensin 1-9. Involved in the degradation of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and brain natriuretic factor (BNP(1-32)). Displays UV-inducible elastase activity toward skin preelastic and elastic fibers. |
Subcellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. |
Protein Families | Peptidase M13 family |
