MME, also known as neprilysin, is a zinc metallopeptidase expressed at the cell surface of a variety of cells. It degrades the amyloid beta peptide whose abnormal misfolding and aggregation in neural tissue has been implicated as a cause of Alzheimer's disease. It is expressed in a wide variety of tissues and is particularly abundant in kidney. It is also a common acute lymphocytic leukemia antigen that is an important cell surface marker in the diagnosis of human acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). It is of use in hematological diagnosis since it is expressed by early B, pro-B and pre-B lymphocytes, and by lymph node germinal centers. Recombinant human MME, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
