Overview

Plays a role in the cellular breakdown of insulin, IAPP, glucagon, bradykinin, kallidin and other peptides, and thereby plays a role in intercellular peptide signaling. Degrades amyloid formed by APP and IAPP. May play a role in the degradation and clearance of naturally secreted amyloid beta-protein by neurons and microglia.

Molecular Function

ATPase activity; Ubiquitin Binding; Zinc ion binding; Insulin binding; Hydrolase; Metalloprotease; Protease

Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm; Cell membrane; Secreted

Structure

Homodimer. Can form higher oligomers. Interacts (via N-terminus) with varicella-zoster virus (VZV) envelope glycoprotein E (via N-terminus); the membrane-associated isoform may function as an entry receptor for this virus.
