| - | '''Neprilysin''' (NEP) is a Zn-dependent metalloprotease which degrades small secreted peptides like the beta-amyloid peptide. NEP turns off peptide signalling events at the cell surface. | + | '''Neprilysin''' (NEP), also known as '''neutral endopeptidase''', is a Zn-dependent metalloprotease which degrades small secreted peptides like the beta-amyloid peptide, tachykinin, neurotensin and enkephalins.<ref>PMID: 15134871</ref><ref>PMID: 15544569</ref><ref>PMID: 17476590</ref><ref>PMID: 18393807</ref><ref>PMID: 18470479</ref><ref>PMID: 23684647</ref><ref>PMID: 23883611</ref><ref>PMID: 24391587</ref> Its signalling has also been implicated in cardiovascular disease.<ref>PMID: 21046489</ref> NEP turns off peptide signalling events at the cell surface.
