nep-2

Species
Caenorhabditis elegans
Symbol
nep-2
Name
NEPrilysin metallopeptidase family 2
Synonyms
  • CELE_T05A8.4
  • T05A8.4
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Involved in olfactory learning and regulation of chemotaxis. Located in cell surface. Is expressed in GLR; body wall musculature; muscle cell; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2T; X-linked dominant hypophosphatemic rickets; cerebral amyloid angiopathy; membranous glomerulonephritis; and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including MME (membrane metalloendopeptidase) and MMEL1 (membrane metalloendopeptidase like 1).
WB Description
T05A8.4 encodes a neprilysin; neprilysins are thermolysin-like zinc metallopeptidases, found on the outer surface of animal cells, that negatively regulate small signalling peptides (e.g., enkephalin, tachykinin, insulin, and natriuretic peptides) by cleaving them; while T05A8.4 is an ortholog of mammalian neutral endopeptidase (NEP), expressed on the brush-border membranes of kidney; more generally, T05A8.4 falls into a group of proteins that includes the classical neprilysins found in mammals (e.g., PEX [OMIM:307800] and the enkephalin cleaving enzymes).
