Gene nameLNPEP
Protein nameLeucyl-cystinyl aminopeptidase (Cystinyl aminopeptidase) (EC 3.4.11.3) (Insulin-regulated membrane aminopeptidase) (Insulin-responsive aminopeptidase) (IRAP) (Oxytocinase) (OTase) (Placental leucine aminopeptidase) (P-LAP) [Cleaved into: Leucyl-cystinyl aminopeptidase, pregnancy serum form]
SynonymsOTASE
DescriptionFUNCTION: 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. .
