Porcine sABP homologue identification as thimet oligopeptidase leaves open its cardiovascular role in humans; further validation required.
Porcine sABP homologue is identified as thimet oligopeptidase, and sABP as microsomal endopeptidase, with distinct tissue expression patterns.
Kato et al. (1994) studied this question. Cloning of a porcine sABP homologue revealed 90% sequence similarity to rat thimet oligopeptidase, with ubiquitous mRNA expression compared to the tissue-specific expression of sABP.
