Gene nameLVRN
Protein nameAminopeptidase Q (AP-Q) (APQ) (EC 3.4.11.-) (CHL2 antigen) (Laeverin)
SynonymsAQPEP
DescriptionFUNCTION: Metalloprotease which may be important for placentation by regulating biological activity of key peptides at the embryo-maternal interface. On synthetic substrates it shows a marked preference for Leu-4-methylcoumaryl-7-amide (Leu-MCA) over Met-MCA, Arg-LCA and Lys-LCA. Cleaves the N-terminal amino acid of several peptides such as angiotensin-3, kisspeptin-10 and endokinin C. .
