Anatomical context of Mme

  • Plasma NEP activity, tissue NEP activity and its protein and mRNA expression in the left ventricle, aorta, jejunum and lung in the late phase of shock (LS) rats were lower than those in ES and the control, but no statistical change of NEP activity in the kidney was observed [2].
  • Immunolabeling density of NEP in the airway epithelium largely disappeared 1 h after insult due to acute cell damage and shedding [3].
  • Because enkephalinase has it active site located extracellularly and is thus an ectopeptidase, we suggest that the N-terminal transmembrane region of the enzyme anchors the protein in membranes and that the majority of the protein, including the carboxy terminus, is extracellular [18].
  • ASA decreased NEP activity in a dose-dependent manner, and decreased Western-detectable NEP protein in plasma membranes [22].
  • We assessed NEP activity in an osteoblastic cell line, PyMS, by cleavage of N-Dansyl-d-Ala-Gly-p-nitro-Phe-Gly to Dansyl-d-Ala-Gly [22].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Mme

  • The relative abundance of NEP mRNA was determined by RT-PCR in the right atrium (RA), right ventricle (RV), left atrium (LA), left ventricle (LV) and interventricular septum (IVS) in 2-month-old (young) and 12-month-old (advanced-age adult) Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats [19].
  • The cellular localization of rat brain enkephalinase was studied after induction of selective unilateral lesions using in vitro quantitative autoradiography of the specific binding of the enzyme inhibitor [3H]-N-[(2RS)-3-hydroxyaminocarbonyl-2-benzyl-1-oxopropyl]glycine ([3H]HACBO-Gly) [31].
  • The association of enkephalinase with delta and mu opioid receptors in these areas is consistent with the observed role of the enzyme in regulating the effects of opioid peptides in striatal dopamine release and analgesia, respectively [32].
  • Therefore, we examined the effect of an NEP inhibitor, phosphoramidon, on myocardial perfusion in rats after (1) stimulating sensory nerves with capsaicin and (2) inducing myocardial hypoperfusion with isoproterenol, with or without pretreatment with selective antagonists of the substance P (NK1) and bradykinin (B2) receptors [33].
  • The fine structural distribution of the enzyme-neutral endopeptidase EC 3.4.24.11 (enkephalinase) was examined by immunoradioautography (using an iodinated monoclonal antibody) and peroxidase immunocytochemistry (using the same probe in nonradioactive form) in the neostriatum of the rat [34].
