About Ece1

Summary

Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity; protein homodimerization activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in axonogenesis; embryonic heart tube development; and gene expression. Acts upstream of or within pharyngeal system development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic vesicle; external side of plasma membrane; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; male reproductive gland or organ; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study double outlet right ventricle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; congestive heart failure; coronary artery disease; essential hypertension; and hypertension. Orthologous to human ECE1 (endothelin converting enzyme 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
