Gene: NPEPPS
Alternate names for this Gene: AAP-S|MP100|PSA
Gene Summary: This gene encodes the puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase, a zinc metallopeptidase which hydrolyzes amino acids from the N-terminus of its substrate. The protein has been localized to both the cytoplasm and to cellular membranes. This enzyme degrades enkaphalins in the brain, and studies in mouse suggest that it is involved in proteolytic events regulating the cell cycle.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 17
Location in Chromosome : 17q21.32
Description of this Gene: aminopeptidase puromycin sensitive
Type of Gene: protein-coding
