Hydrolysis of rat melanin-concentrating hormone by endopeptidase 24.11 (neutral endopeptidase) [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1992 Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a cyclic peptide which behaves as an antagonist of the pituitary melanotropic hormone alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in fishes. Cloning of the rat MCH cDNA precursor recently revealed the presence of an additional putative peptide named NEI.

Hydrogen Peroxide Inhibits Lung Neutral Endopeptidase
Experimental Lung Research, 1995 Oxidants have been implicated in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory airway diseases. Neutral endopeptidase (also called enkephalinase, EC 3.4.24.11) is a peptidase that is involved in the degradation of several proinflammatory peptides, such as tachykinins and kinins.

Amyloid/Melanin distinctive mark in invertebrate immunity [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2012 Protostomes and Deuterostomes show the same nexus between melanin production, and amyloid fibril production, i.e., the presence of melanin is indissolubly linked to amyloid scaffold that, in turn, is conditioned by the redox status/cytoplasmic pH ...
