Preparation and Storage

Background: Neurolysin

Neurolysin, also known as Oligopeptidase M (mitochondrial peptidase), soluble angiotensin II-binding protein and endopeptidase EC 3.4.24.16 (1, 2), is a homologue of Thimet Ologopeptidase (THOP1), a zinc peptidase of the M3 family that also includes mitochondrial intermediate peptidase. Neurolysin expresses in two forms with the difference of an N-terminal transit peptide that targets the localization to mitochondria (1). The shorter form exists in cytosol. The recombinant human Neurolysin is expressed without the transit peptide and is isolated from the cytosol. Like THOP1, Neurolysin is capable of cleaving a number of vasoactive peptides such as bradykinin and neurotensin (3). All known substrates of THOP1 and Neurolysin contain 17 or fewer amino acids.
