Structured_description
| Provisional_description | T25B6.2 encodes two isoforms of 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; T25B6.2 is orthologous to Ac-mep-1, a gut luminal neprilysin which is specifically expressed in the adult life stage of Ancylostoma caninum hookworms, and whose protein product is localized to the microvilli of the gastrointestinal tract, suggesting a role in digestion. |
