Function | Release of an N-terminal amino acid, cleaves 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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11389728, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11707427, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1731608}. |
Subcellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11389728}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11389728}. Note=In brain only the membrane- bound form is found. The protein resides in intracellular vesicles together with GLUT4 and can then translocate to the cell surface in response to insulin and/or oxytocin. Localization may be determined by dileucine internalization motifs, and/or by interaction with tankyrases. |
Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in placenta, heart, kidney and small intestine. Detected at lower levels in neuronal cells in the brain, in skeletal muscle, spleen, liver, testes and colon. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11389728, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8550619, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9177475}. |
