The metalloendopeptidase () is ubiquitously present in the extracellular environment as a secreted protein. Outside the cell, this enzyme degrades several neuropeptides containing from 5 to 17 amino acids (. gonadotropin releasing hormone, bradykinin, opioids and neuro-tensin). The constitutive secretion of from glioma C6 cells was demonstrated to be stimulated linearly by reduced concentrations of extra-cellular calcium. | iFEBS Journal Calcium modulates endopeptidase EC membrane association secondary structure and substrate specificity Vitor Oliveira1 Paula A.
