Gene nameMEP1B
Protein nameMeprin A subunit (EC 3.4.24.-) (Endopeptidase-2)
Meprin A subunit beta (EC 3.4.24.63) (Endopeptidase-2) (Meprin B) (N-benzoyl-L-tyrosyl-P-amino-benzoic acid hydrolase subunit beta) (PABA peptide hydrolase) (PPH beta)
SynonymshCG_25081
DescriptionFUNCTION: Membrane metallopeptidase that sheds many membrane-bound proteins. Exhibits a strong preference for acidic amino acids at the P1' position. Known substrates include: FGF19, VGFA, IL1B, IL18, procollagen I and III, E-cadherin, KLK7, gastrin, ADAM10, tenascin-C. The presence of several pro-inflammatory cytokine among substrates implicate MEP1B in inflammation. It is also involved in tissue remodeling due to its capability to degrade extracellular matrix components. .
