| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in the intestinal brush border (at protein level). Highly expressed in intestinal tract and kidney, present in liver, lymph node, spleen, and brain. Found as well in monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, veiled cells and B-cells but not on T-cells and thymocytes. |
| Post Translational Modifications | N- and O-glycosylated. Sulfated. May undergo proteolysis and give rise to a soluble form. |
| Function | Broad specificity aminopeptidase which plays a role in the final digestion of peptides generated from hydrolysis of proteins by gastric and pancreatic proteases. Also involved in the processing of various peptides including peptide hormones, such as angiotensin III and IV, neuropeptides, and chemokines. May also be involved the cleavage of peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex class II molecules of antigen presenting cells. May have a role in angiogenesis and promote cholesterol crystallization. May have a role in amino acid transport by acting as binding partner of amino acid transporter SLC6A19 and regulating its activity. |
