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.

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.

Enzyme regulation

Inhibited by phosphoramidon.

Subunit structure

Homodimer.

Subcellular location

Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Cytoplasmic granule membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein Ref.1.

Tissue specificity

Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed in liver, kidney, adrenal gland, testis and endothelial cells. Isoform 3 and isoform 4 are expressed in brain and adrenal gland. Ref.1

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

pH dependence:

Optimum pH is 5.5. Inactive at neutral pH.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAA82927.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 78.

The sequence AAO72360.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 78.

The sequence AAO72361.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 78.
