Gene information for LNPEP (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4012
Official gene symbolLNPEP
Full nameleucyl/cystinyl aminopeptidase
Aliases,CAP,IRAP,P-LAP,PLAP,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a zinc-dependent aminopeptidase that cleaves vasopressin, oxytocin, lys-bradykinin, met-enkephalin, dynorphin A and other peptide hormones. The protein can be secreted in maternal serum, reside in intracellular vesicles with the insulin-responsive glucose transporter GLUT4, or form a type II integral membrane glycoprotein. The protein catalyzes the final step in the conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin IV (AT4) and is also a receptor for AT4. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
