Biological function summary
CD13 regulates peptide-mediated signaling and controls the maturation and catabolism of bioactive peptides. The enzymatic function of CD13 influences processes such as cell proliferation motility and angiogenesis. It does not operate as part of a larger complex but its activity modulates several cellular and systemic functions. CD13's role in these biological processes highlights its importance in modulating local and systemic peptide pools which contributes to its diverse physiological effects.
Pathways
CD13 plays significant roles in the renin-angiotensin system and the regulation of inflammatory responses. In the renin-angiotensin system CD13 modulates the activity of angiotensin influencing blood pressure and fluid balance. Through its enzymatic activity CD13 interacts with proteins such as ACE another critical player in this pathway. In inflammation CD13 regulates the availability of chemotactic peptides affecting leukocyte migration and adhesion. The proteins it works with in inflammatory pathways include cytokines which CD13 indirectly modulates by altering chemokine activity.
