Entrez gene summary

Endothelin-converting enzymes, such as ECE2 (EC 3.4.24.71), are type II metalloproteases that generate functionally pleiotropic members of the endothelin vasoactive peptide family (Lorenzo et al., 2001 [PubMed 11718899]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

Staining summary

Parts of the gastrointestinal tract, gall bladder, adrenal gland, glial cells and renal tubules displayed strong cytoplasmic and nuclear staining. Squamous epithelia, hepatocytes, respiratory epithelia, prostate, thyroid and Leydig cells were moderately stained. Remaining normal tissues were weakly stained or negative.
