background:
Endothelin-converting enzyme 2 (ECE2) converts big endothelin-1 to endothelin-1. Also involved in the processing of various neuroendocrine peptides, including neurotensin, angiotensin I, substance P, proenkephalin-derived peptides, and prodynorphin-derived peptides. May limit beta-amyloid peptide accumulation in brain. May also have methyltransferase activity. Expressed at high levels in central nervous system. Expressed in adrenal glands, ovary and uterus, and at low levels in heart.
Subcellular Location:
Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein (By similarity). Cytoplasmic granule membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein (By similarity).
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in brain. Strongly down-regulated in inferior parietal lobe from Alzheimer disease patients (at protein level).
Similarity:
In the N-terminal section; belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily.
In the SLCterminal section; belongs to the peptidase M13 family.
