General annotation (Comments)

Function

May be involved in the proteolytic inactivation of enkephalins and neurotensin in some brain areas. May convert inactive angiotensin I into the biologically active angiotensin II. Ref.5

Catalytic activity

Release of a C-terminal amino acid, but little or no action with -Asp, -Glu, -Arg, -Lys or -Pro.

Cofactor

Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit By similarity.

Subcellular location

Secretedextracellular spaceextracellular matrix Ref.5.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in the hippocampus, nucleus raphe, and cortex. Ref.6

Involvement in disease

A chromosomal aberration involving CPA6 was found in a patient with Duane retraction syndrome. Translocation t(6;8)(q26;q13).

Epilepsy, familial temporal lobe, 5 (ETL5) [MIM:614417]: A focal form of epilepsy characterized by recurrent seizures that arise from foci within the temporal lobe. Seizures are usually accompanied by sensory symptoms, most often auditory in nature.
Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.6

Familial febrile convulsions 11 (FEB11) [MIM:614418]: Seizures associated with febrile episodes in childhood without any evidence of intracranial infection or defined pathologic or traumatic cause. It is a common condition, affecting 2-5% of children aged 3 months to 5 years. The majority are simple febrile seizures (generally defined as generalized onset, single seizures with a duration of less than 30 minutes). Complex febrile seizures are characterized by focal onset, duration greater than 30 minutes, and/or more than one seizure in a 24 hour period. The likelihood of developing epilepsy following simple febrile seizures is low. Complex febrile seizures are associated with a moderately increased incidence of epilepsy.
Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.6

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase M14 family.

Alternative products

This entry describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: Q8N4T0-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform 2 (identifier: Q8N4T0-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     280-437: DEGASMHPCD...ITMHLLKKCP → GKFGTNWDPD...SHGRLMFFCM
Note: No experimental confirmation available.
Isoform 3 (identifier: Q8N4T0-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-148: Missing.
     281-376: Missing.
