ECE2 Polyclonal Antibody

catalytic activity:Hydrolysis of the 21-Trp-|-Val-22 bond in big endothelin to form endothelin 1.,cofactor:Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.,function:Converts big endothelin-1 to endothelin-1. Also involved in the processing of various neuroendocrine peptides, including neurotensin, angiotensin I, substance P, proenkephalin-derived peptides, and prodynorphin-derived peptides. May limit beta-amyloid peptide accumulation in brain. May also have methyltransferase activity.,similarity:In the C-terminal section; belongs to the peptidase M13 family.,similarity:In the N-terminal section; belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily.,tissue specificity:Expressed in brain. Strongly down-regulated in inferior parietal lobe from Alzheimer disase patients (at protein level).,
