Human XPNPEP2 Elisa Kit

Background:
The membrane-bound X-prolyl aminopeptidase (aminopeptidase P) 2, also known as XPNPEP2, belongs to the peptidase M24B family, and has been reported to associate with Aminopeptidase P (APP) activity. XPNPEP2 is expressed in kidney, lung, heart, placenta, liver, small intestine and colon. No expression in brain, skeletal muscle, pancreas, spleen, thymus, prostate, testis and ovary. It can release any N-terminal amino acid, including proline, that is linked to proline, even from a dipeptide or tripeptide. XPNPEP2 is a metalloprotease that may play a role in the inflammatory process and other reactions produced in response to injury or infection. XPNPEP2 may also play a role in the metabolism of the vasodilator bradykinin.
