MMEL1 membrane metalloendopeptidase like 1

Gene ID: 79258, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: NL1; NL2; SEP; NEP2; MMEL2; NEPII

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the neutral endopeptidase (NEP) or membrane metallo-endopeptidase (MME) family. Family members play important roles in pain perception, arterial pressure regulation, phosphate metabolism and homeostasis. This protein is a type II transmembrane protein and is thought to be expressed as a secreted protein. This gene is expressed mainly in testis with weak expression in the brain, kidney, and heart.
