AOPEP aminopeptidase O (putative)

Gene ID: 84909, updated on 17-Aug-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: APO; AP-O; DYT31; ONPEP; C90RF3; C9orf3

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the M1 zinc aminopeptidase family. The encoded protein is a zinc-dependent metallopeptidase that catalyzes the removal of an amino acid from the amino terminus of a protein or peptide. This protein may play a role in the generation of angiotensin IV. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
