Function Release of an N-terminal amino acid, cleaves before cysteine, leucine as well as other amino acids. Degrades peptide hormones such as oxytocin, vasopressin and angiotensin III, and plays a role in maintaining homeostasis during pregnancy. May be involved in the inactivation of neuronal peptides in the brain. Cleaves Met-enkephalin and dynorphin. Binds angiotensin IV and may be the angiotensin IV receptor in the brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11389728, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11707427, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1731608}.
Subcellular Location Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11389728}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11389728}. Note=In brain only the membrane- bound form is found. The protein resides in intracellular vesicles together with GLUT4 and can then translocate to the cell surface in response to insulin and/or oxytocin. Localization may be determined by dileucine internalization motifs, and/or by interaction with tankyrases.
Tissue Specificity Highly expressed in placenta, heart, kidney and small intestine. Detected at lower levels in neuronal cells in the brain, in skeletal muscle, spleen, liver, testes and colon. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11389728, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8550619, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9177475}.
