AMZ2 archaelysin family metallopeptidase 2

Gene ID: 51321, updated on 30-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc metalloprotease that displays some activity against angiotensin-3. The encoded protein is inhibited by the aminopeptidase inhibitor amastatin, as well as by the general inhibitors o-phenanthroline and batimastat. Defects in this gene may be associated with lung tumorigenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]
