Background
Meprin A subunit alpha also known as endopeptidase-2 or PABA peptide hydrolase is the alpha subunit of the meprin A enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MEP1A gene. Meprin A subunit alpha, encoded by the **MEP1A** gene, is a component of the meprin A metalloproteinase complex, which is involved in extracellular matrix remodeling and proteolysis. Meprin A is a zinc-dependent endopeptidase found predominantly in the kidneys, intestines, and other tissues. It plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including inflammation, tissue repair, and the processing of bioactive peptides. The alpha subunit, specifically, is a part of the hetero-oligomeric enzyme complex, which combines with the beta subunit to form an active enzyme. Abnormalities in meprin A function have been associated with several pathological conditions, including kidney diseases and cancer.
