1 Q9Y5Q5 Atrial natriuretic peptide-converting enzyme 1042"Serine-type endopeptidase involved in atrial natriuretic peptide hormone (NPPA) processing.
Converts through proteolytic cleavage the non-functional propeptide NPPA into the active hormone, thereby regulating blood pressure in heart and promoting natriuresis, diuresis and vasodilation.
Proteolytic cleavage of pro-NPPA also plays a role in female pregnancy by promoting trophoblast invasion and spiral artery remodeling in uterus.
Also acts as a regulator of sodium reabsorption in kidney.
May also process pro-NPPB the B-type natriuretic peptide.
; Isoform 2: has weaker endopeptidase activity compared to isoform 1".
