NLN - neurolysin Gene
Also Known as MEP; MOP; AGTBP; EP24.16
Species: Homo sapiens
About NLN
This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 197 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in liver (RPKM 3.9), brain (RPKM 3.5) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the metallopeptidase M3 protein family that cleaves neurotensin at the Pro10-Tyr11 bond, leading to the formation of neurotensin(1-10) and neurotensin(11-13). The encoded protein is likely involved in the termination of the neurotensinergic signal in the central nervous system and in the gastrointestinal tract.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
