LCAP_HUMAN |
| Sample Type: |
serum, plasma, tissue homogenates or other biological fluids. |
| Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in placenta, heart, kidney and small intestine. Detected at lower levels in neuronal cells in the brain, in skeletal muscle, spleen, liver, testes and colon. |
| Post Translational Modifications | The pregnancy serum form is derived from the membrane-bound form by proteolytic processing. N-glycosylated. |
| Function | Release of an N-terminal amino acid, cleaves before cysteine, leucine as well as other amino acids. Degrades peptide hormones such as oxytocin, vasopressin and angiotensin III, and plays a role in maintaining homeostasis during pregnancy. May be involved in the inactivation of neuronal peptides in the brain. Cleaves Met-enkephalin and dynorphin. Binds angiotensin IV and may be the angiotensin IV receptor in the brain. |
