Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionF18A12.8 encodes two isoforms of a neprilysin; neprilysins are thermolysin-like zinc metallopeptidases, found on the outer surface of animal cells, that negatively regulate small signalling peptides (e.g., enkephalin, tachykinin, insulin, and natriuretic peptides) by cleaving them; F18A12.8A is closely paralogous to ZK20.6, and orthologous to CG9761 in Drosophila melanogaster; F18A12.8 is homologous, and possibly orthologous, to human ECE1 (OMIM:600423; mutation leads to Hirschsprung disease, cardiac defects, and autonomic dysfunction); more generally, F18A12.8A falls into a group of proteins that includes the classical neprilysins found in mammals (e.g., PEX [OMIM:307800] and the enkephalin cleaving enzymes).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004103

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein processing. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; artery disease (multiple); congestive heart failure; and dilated cardiomyopathy. Is an ortholog of human ECE1 (endothelin converting enzyme 1).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
