Full name | | neurolysin (metallopeptidase M3 family) |
Aliases | | ,AGTBP,DKFZp564F123,KIAA1226, |
Gene summary | | This gene encodes a member of the metallopeptidase M3 protein family that cleaves neurotensin at the Pro10-Tyr11 bond, leading to the formation of neurotensin(1-10) and neurotensin(11-13). The encoded protein is likely involved in the termination of the neurotensinergic signal in the central nervous system and in the gastrointestinal tract. |
