IRAP Drives Ribosomal Degradation to Refuel Energy for Platelet Activation during Septic Thrombosis [PDF]
Platelets play crucial roles in multiple pathophysiological processes after energy‐dependent activation. It is puzzling how such a small cellular debris has abundant energy supply.

Insulin‐regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) is a new potential macromolecular target for drugs aimed for treatment of cognitive disorders. Inhibition of IRAP by angiotensin IV (Ang IV) improves the memory and learning in rats.

Binding of “AT4 receptor” ligands to insulin regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) in intact Chinese hamster ovary cells [PDF]
Insulin regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) recognises "AT(4)-receptor" ligands like angiotensin IV (Ang IV) and peptidomimetics like AL-11. The metabolic stability and high affinity of [(3)H]AL-11 for catalytically active IRAP allowed its detection in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cell membranes in the absence of chelators (Demaegdt et al., 2009).

A PCR-RFLP method for detection of the LNPEP encoding human insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) rs4869317 polymorphism. [PDF]
Background & objectives: Insulin regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) has been related to certain pathologies such as breast cancer, Alzheimer's disease and septic shock. IRAP is encoded by the leucyl/cystinyl aminopeptidase (LNPEP) gene.

Lipid-induced S-palmitoylation of Insulin-Responsive Aminopeptidase (IRAP) drives the onset of insulin resistance in the heart [PDF]
Excessive accumulation of long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) in cardiomyocytes leads to cardiac lipid-induced insulin resistance (CLIR), impairing insulin signaling and glucose uptake.

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).
