Mouse Neprilysin (MME) ELISA kit

Sample Types: serum, plasma, tissue homogenates Detection Range: 0.156 ng/mL-10 ng/mL Sensitivity: 0.039 ng/mL Assay Principle: quantitative Measurement: SandwichAssay Time: 1-5h Sample Volume: 50-100ulDetection Wavelength: 450 nmProtein function: Thermolysin-like specificity, but is almost confined on acting on polypeptides of up to 30 amino acids. Biologically important in the destruction of opioid peptides such as Met- and Leu-enkephalins by cleavage of a Gly-Phe bond. Able to cleave angiotensin-1, angiotensin-2 and angiotensin 1-9. Involved in the degradation of the atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). Displays UV-inducible elastase activity toward skin preelastic and elastic fibers (PubMed:20876573). [The UniProt Consortium]
