Insulin regulated aminopeptidase

Insulin regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the leucyl and cystinyl aminopeptidase (LNPEP) gene. IRAP is a type II transmembrane protein which belongs to the oxytocinase subfamily of M1 aminopeptidases, alongside ERAP1 and ERAP2. It is also known as oxytocinase, leucyl and cystinyl aminopeptidase, placental leucine aminopeptidase (P-LAP), cystinyl aminopeptidase (CAP), and vasopressinase. IRAP is expressed in different cell types, mainly located in specialized regulated endosomes that can be recruited to the cell surface upon cell type-specific receptor activation.
