Serine-type endopeptidase involved in atrial natriuretic peptide hormone (NPPA) processing. Converts through proteolytic cleavage the non-functional propeptide NPPA into the active hormone, thereby regulating blood pressure in heart and promoting natriuresis, diuresis and vasodilation. Proteolytic cleavage of pro-NPPA also plays a role in female pregnancy by promoting trophoblast invasion and spiral artery remodeling in uterus. Also acts as a regulator of sodium reabsorption in kidney. May also process pro-NPPB the B-type natriuretic peptide
Tissue Specificity
Highly expressed in heart. Expressed in heart myocytes. Also expressed in pregnant uterus. Detected in blood, in plasma as well as in serum (at protein level)
Cellular Localization
Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Note=May easily detached from the endothelial cell membrane Atrial natriuretic peptide-converting enzyme, 180 kDa soluble fragment: Secreted. Note=Soluble form produced following cleavage by ADAM10 Atrial natriuretic peptide-converting enzyme, 100 kDa soluble fragment: Secreted. Note=Soluble form produced following autocatalytic cleavage
