Aopep Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable metalloaminopeptidase activity and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in proteolysis. Located in nucleolus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; gut gland; and liver and biliary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dystonia 31. Orthologous to human AOPEP (aminopeptidase O (putative)). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
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 mouse Aopep often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Peptidase family M1 domain
- leukotriene A-4 hydrolase/aminopeptidase
- peptidase
- Leukotriene A4 hydrolase, C-terminal
