The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature enzyme, which catalyzes the release of large hydrophobic C-terminal amino acids. This enzyme has functions ranging from digestion of food to selective biosynthesis of neuroendocrine peptides. Mutations in this gene may be linked to epilepsy and febrile seizures, and a translocation t(6;8)(q26;q13) involving this gene has been associated with Duane retraction syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016]. * **UniProt Summary**: May be involved in the proteolytic inactivation of enkephalins and neurotensin in some brain areas. May convert inactive angiotensin I into the biologically active angiotensin II (PubMed:18178555). Releases a C-terminal amino acid, with preference for large hydrophobic C-terminal amino acids and shows only very weak activity toward small amino acids and histidine (PubMed:20855895). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18178555, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20855895}. |Peptidase M14| |Propep M14| |metallocarboxypeptidase activity| |zinc ion binding| |proteolysis| |extracellular space| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp302|35°C R06 exp302]]|-1.91| |[[:results:exp14|Cycloheximide 0.02μM R00 exp14]]|-1.87| |[[:results:exp99|NFN1 0.4μM R03 exp99]]|-1.73| |[[:results:exp350|Deferoxamine 11μM R07 exp350]]|1.82| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
