catalytic activity:Preferential cleavage of polypeptides between hydrophobic residues, particularly with Phe or Tyr at P1'.,cofactor:Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.,disease:Important cell surface marker in the diagnostic of human acute lymphocytic leukemia.,enzyme regulation:Inhibited in a dose dependent manner by opiorphin.,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. Involved in the degradation of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF).,similarity:Belongs to the peptidase M13 family.,
