Abstract excerpt
Neutral endopeptidase (NEP, EC 3.4.24.11) is a major ectoenzyme of the brush-border membrane. The ectodomain of NEP contains five putative N-glycosylation sites. In order to determine the role of the addition of sugar moieties on the activity and intracellular transport of NEP, we have used site-directed mutagenesis to remove all or some of the five potential sites of sugar addition in membrane-bound and secreted...
