IDE (EC 3.4.24.56) is a human enzyme of the metallopeptidase family, not well-known yet. It is composed by more than 1000 residues and has a huge catalytic cavity. It is made of 2 parts linked by a loop, and it switches between an open and a close state. The size of its catalytic chamber allows the binding of peptides (70 amino acids long). IDE hydrolyzes a lot of substrates which have many differents biological activities. Its substrate can be insuline, glucagon, amyline or bradykinin. | IDE (EC 3.4.24.56) is a human enzyme of the metallopeptidase family, not well-known yet.

Bradykinin is a short nonapeptide of the family of kinins. It's in response to an inflammatory envent and serves as a mediator of pain, inflammation and vasodilatation. | Bradykinin is a short nonapeptide of the family of kinins.
