Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionF18A12.5 encodes a neprilysin; neprilysins are thermolysin-like zinc metallopeptidases, found on the outer surface of animal cells, that negatively regulate small signalling peptides (e.g., enkephalin, tachykinin, insulin, and natriuretic peptides) by cleaving them; F18A12.5 has no clear orthologs in other organisms.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004584

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein processing. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in distal arthrogryposis type 5D. Is an ortholog of human ECEL1 (endothelin converting enzyme like 1) and KEL (Kell metallo-endopeptidase (Kell blood group)).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Pseudo_map_position
ReferenceWBPaper00065080
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
