Comparative study of Dapagliflozin versus Glimepiride effect on insulin regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) and interleukin-34 (IL-34) in patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus [PDF]
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most common diseases, that managed by several medications such as Glimepiride and Dapagliflozin. This study aims to compare the effects of Dapagliflozin versus Glimepiride on glycemic control, insulin ...

Structural Basis of Inhibition of Insulin-Regulated Aminopeptidase by a Macrocyclic Peptidic Inhibitor. [PDF]
Insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) is a transmembrane zinc metallopeptidase with many important biological functions and an emerging pharmacological target. Although previous structural studies have given insight on how IRAP recognizes linear peptides, how it recognizes its physiological cyclic ligands remains elusive.

Therapeutic targeting of insulin-regulated aminopeptidase: Heads and tails?
Insulin-regulated aminopeptidase, IRAP, is an abundant protein that was initially cloned from a rat epididymal fat pad cDNA library as a marker protein for specialized vesicles containing the insulin-responsive glucose transporter GLUT4, wherein it is thought to participate in the tethering and trafficking of GLUT4 vesicles.

The effects of insulin-regulated aminopeptidase inhibition with HA08 on recognition memory acquisition and spatial working memory under reversed circadian conditions in male rats [PDF]
In 1995, a new M1 aminopeptidase member was discovered in fat and muscle cells, the insulin regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP; oxytocinase; placental leucine aminopeptidase).

Conformational Changes in Insulin Regulated Aminopeptidase
Global disease burden due to age related cognitive decline and dementias, especially Alzheimer’s disease, are a growing public health problem. Current treatments fail to completely prevent or cure dementia. A target of interest is the Insulin Regulated Aminopeptidase (IRAP) enzyme, inhibitors of IRAP have shown promise in preventing and reversing ...

Targeting the insulin-regulated aminopeptidase/AT4 receptor for cognitive disorders
The insulin-regulated aminopeptidase/AT(4) receptor has recently emerged as a new target for pharmaceutical agents aimed at treating various cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. There is an unmet need for metabolically stable drug-like angiotensin (Ang) IV analogues that exert actions mimicking the powerful memory-enhancing effects of Ang ...

Proteomic Analysis of Regulated Dendritic Cell Endosomes Reveals Dynamic Adaptation to Antigen Uptake and Cross-Presentation. [PDF]
Phagocytosis of yeast activates recruitment of proteases and trafficking factors from the secretory and endosomal pathways to the IRAP compartment and subsequently phagosomes, promoting cross‐presentation. In the absence of Sec22b, IRAP endosome and phagosome maturation to late endosomes is accelerated.

Effects of ligands or substrate of insulin‐regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) on trophoblast invasion
AbstractInsulin‐regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) activity increases during placentation and in the invasive tumor cell of trophoblast suggesting a role for this peptidase in the invasiveness of normal and malignant trophoblast. To investigate this hypothesis, we studied the effects of substrate (OT) and inhibitors (angiotensin peptides and LVV‐H7) of ...
