Ece1

Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cardiac muscle hypertrophy; positive regulation of receptor recycling; and regulation of signal transduction. Located in early endosome; external side of plasma membrane; and secretory granule. Used to study acute kidney failure; congestive heart failure; hyperhomocysteinemia; hypertension; and pulmonary hypertension. Biomarker of acute kidney failure; congestive heart failure; hypertension; nephrotic syndrome; and renal fibrosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; coronary artery disease; essential hypertension; and hypertension. Orthologous to human ECE1 (endothelin converting enzyme 1).

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Ece1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
