Atrial natriuretic peptide-converting enzyme
Serine-type endopeptidase involved in atrial natriuretic peptide hormone (NPPA) processing. Converts through proteolytic cleavage the non-functional propeptide NPPA into the active hormone, thereby regulating blood pressure in heart and promoting natriuresis, diuresis and vasodilation. Proteolytic cleavage of pro-NPPA also plays a role in female pregnancy by promoting trophoblast invasion and spiral artery remodeling in uterus. Also acts as a regulator of sodium reabsorption in kidney. May also process pro-NPPB the B-type natriuretic peptide.; Isoform 2: has weaker endopeptidase activity compared to isoform 1.

Atrial natriuretic peptide-converting enzyme
CORIN: Serine-type endopeptidase involved in atrial natriuretic peptide hormone (NPPA) processing. Converts through proteolytic cleavage the non-functional propeptide NPPA into the active hormone, thereby regulating blood pressure in heart and promoting natriuresis, diuresis and vasodilation. Proteolytic cleavage of pro-NPPA also plays a role in female pregnancy by promoting trophoblast invasion and spiral artery remodeling in uterus. Also acts as a regulator of sodium reabsorption in kidney. May also process pro-NPPB the B-type natriuretic peptide. Defects in CORIN are the cause of pre-eclampsia/eclampsia 5 (PEE5); also known as gestational proteinuric hypertension. Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-associated disease with maternal symptoms but placental origin. Unlike most other human disorders, it impacts 2 individuals, the mother and her child, both of whom can be severely affected. Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
