LITERATURE
medicine
-
plays an important role in endothelium-mediated vasoregulation
molecular biology
-
neurolysin can be used as a molecular tool for analysis of properties of cancer-producing matrix metalloproteinases MMP-2 and MMP-9, quantitative determination of cleavage activity of neurolysin toward MMPspecific fluorescence-quenching peptides, overview
pharmacology
the ability of Nln to process several neuropeptides suggests that it could potentially serve as a single therapeutic target to modulate the function of multiple targets, the noted neuropeptide systems, critically involved in various mechanisms of brain injury or cerebroprotection/restoration
