Description
Enables carboxypeptidase activity. Involved in maternal process involved in female pregnancy; negative regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; and negative regulation of smooth muscle cell proliferation. Located in extracellular space and membrane. Used to study glaucoma; myocardial infarction; and thrombosis. Biomarker of hypertension; lung disease; middle cerebral artery infarction; myocardial infarction; and primary biliary cholangitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including avian influenza; cerebral malaria; hypertension (multiple); respiratory syncytial virus infectious disease; and severe acute respiratory syndrome. Orthologous to human ACE2 (angiotensin converting enzyme 2).
Bio-activity
Measured by its ability to cleave a fluorogenic peptide substrate, Mca-YVADAPK(Dnp)-OH. The specific activity is >300 pmol/min/μg, as measured under the described conditions.
Storage
Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
6 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 centigrade as supplied.
3 months, -20 to -70 centigrade under sterile conditions after opening.
