Aminopeptidase N as a potential drug target

open access: yesEuropean Pharmaceutical Journal, 2023
Aminopeptidase N (APN) is a broad specificity zinc metallopeptidase with many functions that do not always depend on its enzymatic activity. Among others, it is involved in tumor angiogenesis and metastasizing and also serves as a cellular receptor of ...

Aminopeptidase N is a receptor for hedgehog merbecoviruses. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Microbiol
ABSTRACT Merbecoviruses, closely related to the highly pathogenetic Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), circulate in hedgehogs throughout Europe and Asia, raising concerns about zoonotic transmission to humans and domestic animals. Unfortunately, how these viruses enter host cells remains unknown,

Aminopeptidase C of Aspergillus niger is a Novel Phenylalanine Aminopeptidase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
A novel enzyme with a specific phenylalanine aminopeptidase activity (ApsC) from Aspergillus niger (CBS 120.49) has been characterized. The derived amino acid sequence is not similar to any previously characterized aminopeptidase sequence but does share ...

Dipeptidyl peptidase IV, aminopeptidase N and DPIV/APN-like proteases in cerebral ischemia

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2012
Background Cerebral inflammation is a hallmark of neuronal degeneration. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV, aminopeptidase N as well as the dipeptidyl peptidases II, 8 and 9 and cytosolic alanyl-aminopeptidase are involved in the regulation of autoimmunity and ...

Aminopeptidases do not directly degrade tau protein

open access: yesMolecular Neurodegeneration, 2010
Background Tau hyperphosphorylation and aggregation to form intracellular neurofibrillar tangles is prevalent in a number of tauopathies. Thus there is current interest in the mechanisms involved in Tau clearance. It was recently reported that Tau can be

Aminopeptidase N in arterial hypertension [PDF]

open access: yesHeart Failure Reviews, 2007
Aminopeptidase N (APN) or CD13 is a conserved type II integral membrane zinc-dependent metalloprotease in the M1 family of ectoenzymes. APN is abundant in the kidneys and central nervous system. Identified substrates include Angiotensin III (Ang III); neuropeptides, including enkephalins and endorphins; and homones, including kallidan and somatostatin.
