Preparation and Storage

Background: Napsin A

Novel Aspartic Proteinase of the Pepsin Family or Napsin A is an aspartic proteinase that belongs to the peptidase A1 family and plays a role in pneumocyte surfactant processing. It consists of a 24-residue signal peptide, a 40-amino acid propart, the mature enzyme of 336 amino acids, and a C-terminal extension of 18 residues. Highest levels of Napsin A have been detected in adult lung (type II pneumocytes), fetal lung, and kidney tissues. Napsin A is also expressed at lower levels in adult spleen and at very low levels in peripheral blood leukocytes. Human napsin A shares 72.6% sequence identity with the mouse homolog.
