General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Converts big endothelin-1 to endothelin-1. Also involved in the processing of various neuroendocrine peptides, including neurotensin, angiotensin I, substance P, proenkephalin-derived peptides, and prodynorphin-derived peptides. May limit beta-amyloid peptide accumulation in brain. May also have methyltransferase activity. Ref.8 |
| Catalytic activity | Hydrolysis of the 21-Trp-|-Val-22 bond in big endothelin to form endothelin 1. |
| Cofactor | Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit By similarity. |
| Subcellular location | Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein By similarity. Cytoplasmic granule membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein By similarity. |
| Tissue specificity | Expressed in brain. Strongly down-regulated in inferior parietal lobe from Alzheimer disease patients (at protein level). Ref.10 |
| Sequence similarities | In the N-terminal section; belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily. In the C-terminal section; belongs to the peptidase M13 family. |
| Biophysicochemical properties | Kinetic parameters: KM=0.4 µM for big ET-1 Ref.8 KM=1.4 µM for peptide E KM=27.4 µM for bradykinin KM=48.4 µM for dynorphin B pH dependence: Optimum pH is 5.0-5.5. Inactive at neutral pH. |
| Sequence caution | The sequence AAL30386.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. Translation N-terminally extended. The sequence BAA25530.2 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. Translation N-terminally shortened. |
