Abstract excerpt
Thimet oligopeptidase (TOP, EC 3.4.24.15) and neurolysin (NEL, EC 3.4.24.16) are closely related zinc-dependent metalo-oligopeptidases, which take part in the metabolism of oligopeptides (from 5 to 17 amino acid residues) inside and outside cells. Both peptidases are ubiquitously distributed in tissues. TOP is one of the main intracellular peptide-processing enzymes being important for the antigen selection in...
