摘要: 1. Inhibitors of neutral endopeptidase EC.3.4.24.11 (NEP) have been shown to attenuate the hypertensive effect big-endothelin-1 (BET-1) in rats. To determine whether NEP converts BET-1 endothelin-1 (ET-1), a recombinant (rNEP) on and ET-1 was assessed vitro. 2. Incubation [125I]-ET-1 with 1 microgram ml-1 rNEP resulted degradation peptide within minutes. Increase amount 10 micrograms led total cleavage seconds. 3. Phosphoramidon (10 microM) or SQ-28,603 (100 totally suppressed by rNEP. 4. The [125I]-BET-1 either much slower than that [125I]-ET-1. Again, both phosphoramidon SQ 28,603 protected from degradation. 5. Intact not observed when incubated 6. These data show is an endothelin converting enzyme.
