| Description: | MME Protein, with thermolysin-like specificity, crucially degrades opioid peptides like Met- and Leu-enkephalins, cleaving a Gly-Phe bond. It also catalyzes the cleavage of bradykinin, substance P, neurotensin peptides, angiotensin-1, angiotensin-2, and angiotensin 1-9. Involved in atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) degradation, MME exhibits UV-inducible elastase activity towards skin preelastic and elastic fibers. MME Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived MME protein, expressed by HEK293, with N-His labeled tag. The total length of MME Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is 699 a.a., with molecular weight (glycosylation form) of 82-110 kDa. |
