{"symbol":"THOP1","synonyms":["MEPD_HUMAN","MP78","EP24.15","TOP"],"name":"thimet oligopeptidase 1","description":"The protein encoded by this gene is a kininase that uses zinc as a cofactor. The encoded oligopeptidase cleaves cytosolic peptides, making them unavailable for display on antigen-presenting cells. This protein also cleaves neuropeptides under 20 aa in length and can degrade beta-amyloid precursor protein to amyloidogenic peptides.
