Pappalysin-1

Gene
PAPPA
Organism
Homo sapiens (Human)
Length
1,627 aa
Molecular mass
180,973 Da
Evidence
1: Evidence at protein level

Metalloproteinase which specifically cleaves IGFBP-4 and IGFBP-5, resulting in release of bound IGF. Cleavage of IGFBP-4 is dramatically enhanced by the presence of IGF, whereas cleavage of IGFBP-5 is slightly inhibited by the presence of IGF
