Mutagenesis of Glu403 to Cys in rabbit neutral endopeptidase-24.11 (neprilysin) creates a disulphide-linked homodimer: analogy with endothelin-converting enzyme.

Neutral endopeptidase-24.11 (NEP; neprilysin; EC 3.4.24.11) and endothelin-converting enzyme (ECE) are related zinc metallopeptidases involved in the processing of biologically active peptides. Only ECE, however, exists as a disulphide-linked homodimer. The covalent linkage in rat ECE is between Cys...
