Is There an Interplay Between the Functional Domains of IRAP?
As a member of the M1 family of aminopeptidases, insulin regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) is characterized by distinct binding motifs at the active site in the C-terminal domain that mediate the catalysis of peptide substrates.

Serum IRAP, a Novel Direct Biomarker of Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes?
Insulin resistance (IR), currently called prediabetes (PD), affects more than half of the adult population worldwide. Type 2 diabetes (T2D), which often follows in the absence of treatment, affects more than 475 million people and represents 10–20% of ...

The activation of the renin‐angiotensin system (RAS) participates in the development of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and in heart failure. PPAR‐alpha activation by fenofibrate reverts some of the effects caused by these pathologies. Recently, nonclassical RAS components have been implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension and myocardial dysfunction ...

Sex Difference in Oxytocin-Induced Anti-Hyperalgesia at the Spinal Level in Rats with Intraplantar Carrageenan-Induced Inflammation. [PDF]
Previously, we demonstrated intrathecal administration of oxytocin strongly induced anti-hyperalgesia in male rats. By using an oxytocin-receptor antagonist (atosiban), the descending oxytocinergic pathway was found to regulate inflammatory hyperalgesia ...

Local renin angiotensin system and sperm DNA fragmentation
The renin angiotensin system (RAS) appears to influence male fertility at multiple levels. In this work, we analyzed the relationship between the RAS and DNA integrity.

Inhibition of Insulin-Regulated Aminopeptidase: A Novel Therapeutic Strategy for Stroke
This thesis characterises and validates a preclinical model of stroke that closely mimics human stroke. In this preclinical model, novel drug therapies that target the insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP), an enzyme found in the brain, were tested ...

Affinity between TBC1D4 (AS160) phosphotyrosine-binding domain and insulin-regulated aminopeptidase cytoplasmic domain measured by isothermal titration calorimetry [PDF]
Uptake of circulating glucose into the cells happens via the insulin-mediated signalling pathway, which translocates the glucosetransporter 4 (GLUT4) vesicles from the intracellular compartmentto the plasma membrane.

Mechanisms underlying the physiological and pathological roles of IRAP
Insulin regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) is a multifunctional enzyme which has many different roles in maintaining normal physiology and in disease states. For example, our laboratory has identified IRAP as a new target for the treatment of organ fibrosis.
