Anti-Insulin degrading enzyme / IDE Antibody [S04-4E8]

Target data

Plays a role in the cellular breakdown of insulin, APP peptides, IAPP peptides, natriuretic peptides, glucagon, bradykinin, kallidin, and other peptides, and thereby plays a role in intercellular peptide signaling (PubMed : 10684867, PubMed : 17051221, PubMed : 17613531, PubMed : 18986166, PubMed : 19321446, PubMed : 21098034, PubMed : 2293021, PubMed : 23922390, PubMed : 24847884, PubMed : 26394692, PubMed : 26968463, PubMed : 29596046). Substrate binding induces important conformation changes, making it possible to bind and degrade larger substrates, such as insulin (PubMed : 23922390, PubMed : 26394692, PubMed : 29596046). Contributes to the regulation of peptide hormone signaling cascades and regulation of blood glucose homeostasis via its role in the degradation of insulin, glucagon and IAPP (By similarity). Plays a role in the degradation and clearance of APP-derived amyloidogenic peptides that are secreted by neurons and microglia (Probable) (PubMed : 26394692, PubMed : 9830016). Degrades the natriuretic peptides ANP, BNP and CNP, inactivating their ability to raise intracellular cGMP (PubMed : 21098034). Also degrades an aberrant frameshifted 40-residue form of NPPA (fsNPPA) which is associated with familial atrial fibrillation in heterozygous patients (PubMed : 21098034). Involved in antigen processing. Produces both the N terminus and the C terminus of MAGEA3-derived antigenic peptide (EVDPIGHLY) that is presented to cytotoxic T lymphocytes by MHC class I.. (Microbial infection) The membrane-associated isoform acts as an entry receptor for varicella-zoster virus (VZV).
