UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q60866 (Q60866)
Gene Name:
Pter
Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse)
Function: N-acetyltaurine hydrolase that regulates feeding by catalyzing the hydrolysis of N-acetyltaurine into taurine and acetate (PubMed:39112712). N-acetyltaurine has anorexigenic and anti-obesity effects that are dependent on GFRAL receptor and GDF15 (PubMed:39112712). PTER also acts on other N-acetyl amino acids (Met, Ile, Leu, Val) and N-propionyltaurine, but at lower rates (PubMed:39112712)
