The PRCP protein also known as Prolylcarboxypeptidase is an enzyme with a molecular weight of around 55 kDa. It functions mechanically by cleaving C-terminal proline residues from peptides. This protein localizes in different tissues including the kidney brain and liver. Its expression is not limited to these areas and can be found in varying levels throughout other tissues in the body.
PRCP plays a role in several physiological processes including blood pressure regulation and appetite control. It acts as part of a complex involved in degrading peptide hormones like angiotensin II. By modulating these peptide hormones PRCP influences the renin-angiotensin system which is critical for blood pressure homeostasis. The regulation of neuropeptides also impacts the brain's control of appetite and metabolism.
PRCP integrates into the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and the kallikrein-kinin system. In the RAAS PRCP influences angiotensin II levels which affects vasoconstriction and blood pressure. It has interactions with proteins such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) within these pathways enhancing its role in vascular biology and fluid balance.
An abnormal activity of PRCP links to hypertension and obesity. Hypertension connects to its activity on the RAAS pathway where it modulates angiotensin II influencing blood vessel constriction. In obesity altered PRCP activity affects neuropeptides in the brain impacting appetite and energy balance. PRCP's modulation of these systems makes it a potential target for therapeutic interventions in these conditions.
