Native, neutral endopeptidase from porcine kidney. A cell surface, zinc containing metallopeptidase that is abundant in the brush border membrane of the kidney proximal tubules. Also present in brain, endothelial cells, liver, and lung. Peptidase activity is specifically directed toward the cleavage on the amino side of hydrophobic residues. Contains an arginine in the active site that can interact with the C-terminal carboxylate of substrates.
