Additional Info
Tissue Specificity
Specifically expressed in heart. Also detected in kidney, aorta, brain and testis. In kidney, present in epithelial cells, with segmental expression in the proximal tubule, thick ascending limb, connecting tubule, and throughout the collecting duct (at protein level).
Post Translational Modifications
N-glycosylated.required for processing and activation. Activated through proteolytic processing by a trypsin-like protease.cleaved into a N-terminal propeptide and an activated corin protease fragment. Atrial natriuretic peptide-converting enzyme, 180 kDa soluble fragment is produced by cleavage by ADAM10. Cleavage by ADAM10 to produce soluble 180 kDa soluble fragment takes place after the transmembrane region and before FZ 1 (Probable). A disulfide bond links the activated corin protease fragment and the N-terminal propeptide. The disulfide bond also links the activated corin protease fragment with Atrial natriuretic peptide-converting enzyme, 180 kDa soluble fragment (Probable).
Function
Serine-type endopeptidase involved in atrial natriuretic peptide (NPPA) processing. Converts through proteolytic cleavage the non-functional propeptide NPPA into the active hormone, thereby regulating blood pressure in heart and promoting natriuresis, diuresis and vasodilation. Proteolytic cleavage of pro-NPPA also plays a role in female pregnancy by promoting trophoblast invasion and spiral artery remodeling in uterus. Also acts as a regulator of sodium reabsorption in kidney. May also process pro-NPPB the B-type natriuretic peptide.
