UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q8C129 (Q8C129)
Gene Name:
Lnpep
Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse)
Function: Release of an N-terminal amino acid, cleave before cysteine, leucine as well as other amino acids. Degrades peptide hormones such as oxytocin, vasopressin and angiotensin III, and plays a role in maintaining homeostasis during pregnancy. May be involved in the inactivation of neuronal peptides in the brain. Cleaves Met-enkephalin and dynorphin. Binds angiotensin IV and may be the angiotensin IV receptor in the brain (By similarity)
