Gene information for NPEPPS (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9520
Official gene symbolNPEPPS
Full nameaminopeptidase puromycin sensitive
Aliases,MP100,PSA,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes the puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase, a zinc metallopeptidase which hydrolyzes amino acids from the N-terminus of its substrate. The protein has been localized to both the cytoplasm and to cellular membranes. This enzyme degrades enkaphalins in the brain, and studies in mouse suggest that it is involved in proteolytic events regulating the cell cycle. [provided by RefSeq]
