UniProt Protein Function: | PAPPA: Metalloproteinase which specifically cleaves IGFBP-4 and IGFBP-5, resulting in release of bound IGF. Cleavage of IGFBP-4 is dramatically enhanced by the presence of IGF, whereas cleavage of IGFBP-5 is slightly inhibited by the presence of IGF. Belongs to the peptidase M43B family. |
UniProt Protein Details: | Protein type:EC 3.4.24.79; Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide; Protease Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 9q33.2 Cellular Component: membrane; extracellular region Molecular Function:metallopeptidase activity; zinc ion binding; metalloendopeptidase activity Biological Process: cellular protein metabolic process; female pregnancy; cell differentiation; proteolysis |
NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes a secreted metalloproteinase which cleaves insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs). Following IGFBP cleavage, insulin growth factors dissociate from IGFBPs and bind to IGF receptors, resulting in activation of the IGF pathway. The encoded protein plays a role in bone formation, inflammation, wound healing and female fertility. Enhanced expression of this protein is associated with diabetic nephropathy in human patients and this protein may promote tumor invasion and growth in various human cancers.
