Nardilysin Proteins and Enzymes

NRD1, also known as Nardilysin, has 2 isoforms, a 1,150 amino acid isoform1 that is 132 kDa and a 1,218 amino acid isoform2 that is 139 kDa, primarily found in adult heart, skeletal muscle, and testis, it is a member of the peptidase M16 family, and slices peptide substrates at the N-terminus of arginine residues in dibasic moieties. Disease research is being performed in relation to NRD1 and differentiating neuroblastoma, Down syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, neuroblastoma, prostatitis, ...
