关于 NLN

功能概要

该基因编码金属肽酶 M3 蛋白家族的一个成员，该家族在 Pro10-Tyr11 键处切割神经降压素，从而导致神经降压素 (1-10) 和神经降压素 (11-13) 的形成。编码的蛋白质可能参与中枢神经系统和胃肠道中神经降压素信号的终止。[RefSeq 提供，2010 年 6 月]

This gene encodes a member of the metallopeptidase M3 protein family that cleaves neurotensin at the Pro10-Tyr11 bond, leading to the formation of neurotensin(1-10) and neurotensin(11-13). The encoded protein is likely involved in the termination of the neurotensinergic signal in the central nervous system and in the gastrointestinal tract.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
