High impact information on Pdp2

  • Starvation and streptozotocin-induced diabetes cause decreases in PDP2 mRNA abundance, PDP2 protein amount, and PDP activity in rat heart and kidney [1].
  • Both PDP-2 (enkephalinase) and PDP-3 are apparently present in nerve terminal membranes predominantly as inactive proenzyme precursors, which elute from DEAE-cellulose at high salt concentration, and are activated very slowly by a process involving one or more trypsin-like enzymes [2].
 

Associations of Pdp2 with chemical compounds

  • Enkephalinase (PDP-2) cleaves 80 nM [3H-Tyr1, Leu5]-enkephalin, but not Hip-His-Leu; it is not inhibited by any of the standard competitive inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzyme (all analogs of carboxyl-terminal peptide sequences Phe-Ala-Pro or Ala-Pro), but is strongly inhibited by captopril analogs such as thiorphan (Phe-Gly analog) [2].
