Rabbit Anti-THOP1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Thimet oligopeptidase, also designated soluble metallo-endopeptidase, is a cytoplasmic protein belonging to the peptidase M3 family. The gene for the protein maps against chromosome 19q13.3. Thimet oligopeptidase can degrade the b-Amyloid precursor protein and generate amyloidogenic fragments. It is important in cytoplasmic peptide degradation and involved in metabolism of neuropeptides that are less than 20 amino acids in length. Thimet oligopeptidase is highly expressed in testis but can also be detected in liver, lung and kidney.
Function:
Involved in the metabolism of neuropeptides under 20 amino acid residues long. Involved in cytoplasmic peptide degradation. Able to degrade the beta-amyloid precursor protein and generate amyloidogenic fragments.
Subunit:
Monomer.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm.
Similarity:
Belongs to the peptidase M3 family.
