EXPRESSION
ORGANISM
UNIPROT
LITERATURE
alternative polyadenylation results in the production of enzyme transcripts with truncated 3'-untranslated regions which promote elevated protein expression
cyclosporine A intensifies renal enzyme expression. The enzyme is upregulated by hypoxia via hypoxia-inducible factor
enzyme expression is significantly increased in the placenta and its implantation site of pregnant hyperinsulinemic rats. In the kidney and heart, protein expression is increased by 230 and 220%, respectively, while its level in the liver is similar in normal and hyperinsulinemic rats
nitric oxide decreases the expression of ECE-1 through a cGMP/PKG-dependent regulatory mechanism at the post-transcriptional level via the 3'-UTR of the ECE-1 gene
-
siRNA-mediated knockdown of ECE-1 results in a significant reduction in FAK phosphorylation
-
the enzyme expression is markedly inhibited by its 3'-untranslated region
the mRNA expression of isoforms ECE-1a and -b is upregulated in biliary cirrhosis and in CCl4-injured livers, whereas isoform ECE-1c mRNA remains unchanged. Enzyme activity is increased after bile duct occlusion and peaks at 12 h after acute CCl4-intoxication
transient ECE-1 overexpression in PNT1-a cells increases FAK phosphorylation
