FunFam 26: Pappalysin 1

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Pappalysin-1. [EC: 3.4.24.79]
Cleavage of the 135-Met-|-Lys-136 bond in insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-4, and the 143-Ser-|-Lys-144 bond in IGFBP-5.
  • Circulates in human pregnancy mainly as a complex with the proform of eosinophil major basic protein, which acts as an inhibitor of the peptidase.
  • The rate of hydrolysis of IGFBP-4 is increased about 20-fold by the presence of insulin-like growth factor (IGF), whereas that of IGFBP-5 is decreased about two-fold.
  • Belongs to peptidase family M43.
