Bioinformatic analysis of the neprilysin (M13) family of peptidases reveals complex evolutionary and functional relationships

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The neprilysin (M13) family of endopeptidases are zinc-metalloenzymes, the majority of which are type II integral membrane proteins. The best characterised of this family is neprilysin, which has important roles in inactivating signa...
