MME [ENSP00000418525]

Neprilysin; Thermolysin-like specificity, but is almost confined on acting on polypeptides of up to 30 amino acids (PubMed:15283675, PubMed:8168535). Biologically important in the destruction of opioid peptides such as Met- and Leu-enkephalins by cleavage of a Gly-Phe bond . Able to cleave angiotensin-1, angiotensin-2 and angiotensin 1-9 . Involved in the degradation of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) . Displays UV-inducible elastase activity toward skin preelastic and elastic fibers .
