Relevance of Neutrophil Neprilysin in Heart Failure [PDF]
Significant expression of neprilysin (NEP) is found on neutrophils, which present the transmembrane integer form of the enzyme. This study aimed to investigate the relationship of neutrophil transmembrane neprilysin (mNEP) with disease severity, adverse ...

Identification and bioinformatic analysis of neprilysin and neprilysin-like metalloendopeptidases in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
The neprilysin (M13) family of metalloendopeptidases comprises highly conserved ectoenzymes that cleave and thereby inactivate many physiologically relevant peptides in the extracellular space. Impaired neprilysin activity is associated with numerous human diseases.

The immuneregulator role of neprilysin (NEP) in invertebrates [PDF]
Neprilysin (NEP) represents an important enzyme in both vertebrates and invertebrates. In the present report we have focused our attention to invertebrates. In particular, a structure related to CD10/NEP as well as its activity in different tissues, such

Plasma Neprilysin Displays No Relevant Association With Neurohumoral Activation in Chronic HFrEF
Background Neprilysin is a transmembrane endopeptidase involved in the breakdown of a variety of vasoactive peptides and serves as a therapeutic target in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

Urinary neprilysin in the critically ill patient [PDF]
Critically ill patients in intensive care face hazardous conditions. Among these, acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequently seen as a result of sepsis. Early diagnosis of kidney injury is of the utmost importance in the guidance of interventions or avoidance of treatment-induced kidney injury. On these grounds, we searched for markers that could indicate
