ABSTRACT Natural food webs in freshwater pond ecosystems provide an important nutritional foundation for cyprinid aquaculture, yet information on their protein and amino acid composition remains fragmented. This review synthesized published data from 30 studies (1950–2026) reporting protein and indispensable amino acid (IAA) composition of freshwater ...

ABSTRACT The accelerating pace of urban expansion has profoundly reshaped urban–rural ecosystems, altering soil environments and impairing key ecological services. However, the combined impacts of urban expansion and atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition on soil multifunctionality—the capacity to sustain multiple ecological processes—remain poorly ...

Expression of aminopeptidase N in fetal rat lung during development
The ectopeptidase, aminopeptidase N, serves as a cell surface marker of the apical surface of the alveolar type II epithelial cell in adult lung.

Active Site Studies on Microsomal Aminopeptidase [PDF]
The active site of porcine kidney microsomal aminopeptidase was investigated using single, multiple and EDTA inactivation kinetic studies. Good inhibitors invariably contained a zinc-coordinating group such as the mercapto moiety, which proved to be the ...

ABSTRACT Soil microbial communities are pivotal to forest ecosystem functions, yet the mechanisms shaping their assembly across complex environments remain poorly understood. This study examined bacterial and fungal communities within topsoil and subsoil under subtropical coniferous forest (CF), mixed conifer–broadleaf forest (MF), and broadleaf forest

Determination of aminopeptidase activity in cheese
Aminopeptidase activity was studied in different types of cheese. Of the cheeses analysed having a mesophilous lactic flora, Roncal was contained the most aminopeptidase activity, coinciding with the highest ripening indices found [non-protein nitrogen ...

Role of Aminopeptidase in Angiogenesis
Microvessels are composed of endothelial cells and surrounding pericytes. Angiogenesis, a neo-vessel formation from pre-existing microvessels, is a complex phenomenon, which requires following sequential steps: detachment of pre-existing pericytes for vascular destabilization, extracellular matrix turnover, migration, proliferation, tube formation by ...

ABSTRACT Acid rain and nitrogen deposition are important environmental stressors affecting soil nitrogen cycling in subtropical forests, whereas fine‐root decomposition represents a major pathway for soil organic nitrogen (SON) input and transformation.

Characterization of a leucine aminopeptidase from Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]
application/pdfThe M17 family leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) hydrolyze amino acids from the N-terminus of peptides. Many LAPs from parasitic protozoa including Plasmmodium, Trypanosoma and Leishmania, have been intensely investigated because of their ...
