CD13; aminopeptidase-N; aminopeptidase-M; gp150; microsomal aminopeptidase; alanine aminopeptidase (ANPEP, PEPN)

Function: - broad specificity aminopeptidase - role in final digestion of peptides generated from hydrolysis of proteins by gastric & pancreatic proteases - may be involved in metabolism of regulatory peptides of diverse cell types (see expression) - found to cleave antigen peptides bound to MHC class II molecules of presenting cells - degrades neurotransmitters at synaptic junctions - implicated as a regulator of IL-8 bioavailability in the endometrium - may contribute to the regulation of angiogenesis - may undergo proteolysis & give rise to a soluble form - release of an N-terminal amino acid, Xaa-|-Yaa- from a peptide, amide or arylamide; Xaa is preferably Ala, but may be most amino acids including Pro (slow action); when a terminal hydrophobic residue is followed by Pro, the two may be released as an intact Xaa-Pro dipeptide Cofactor: binds 1 Zn+2 per subunit (putative) Structure: - homodimer - N- & O-glycosylated - amino acids 260-353 are essential to mediate susceptibility to infection with HCoV-229E - belongs to the peptidase M1 family Compartment: - cell membrane, cytoplasm - plasma membrane, exoplasmic face - bile, concentration in human hepatic bile 17.3- 57.6 ug/mL Expression: - brush border membranes of small intestine - renal proximal tubules - placenta - CNS synaptic membranes - granulocytes - macrophages - endothelial cells - bile duct canaliculi - fibroblasts - osteoclasts - perineurium of peripheral nerves - some large granular lymphocytes - estradiol & IL-8 decrease enzymatic activity in vitro in endometrial stromal cells by 40% & 30%, respectively Pathology: - defects associated with various leukemias/lymphomas a) AML M1-M5 ~75-95% M6 usually - marker for acute myeloid leukemia CML ~90% pre-B ALL ~7-10% pre-T ALL rare - plays a role in tumor invasion - found to serve as a receptor for tumor-homing peptides, more specifically NGR peptides, thus could serve as a target for delivering drugs into tumors - human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) infection a) serves as receptor for HCoV-229E spike glycoprotein b) interacts with the S1 domain of HCoV-229E spike protein - mediates as human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection sulfated (putative) - autoantibodies associated with chronic graft versus host disease - may play role in pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstone disease
