Journal ArticleDOI
On the degradation of enkephalins and endorphins by rat and mouse brain extracts
TL;DR: Rates of degradation observed appear to accord with their duration of action in vivo based on their behavioral and analgesic properties and the slow appearance of Gly and the accumulation of Gly-Gly in digests of enkephalin points to the presence in brain extracts of a glycyl-glycine dipeptidase which is rate-limiting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Co-identity of brain angiotensin converting enzyme with a membrane bound dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase inactivating Met - enkephalin.
Myron Benuck,Neville Marks +1 more
TL;DR: The distribution in rat brain of angiotensin converting enzyme using hippuryl-His-Leu as substrate was identical to a dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase present in membranes assayed with Met-enkephalin as substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breakdown of somatostatin and substance P by cathepsin D purified from calf brain by affinity chromotography
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuronal endosomal/lysosomal membrane destabilization activates caspases and induces abnormal accumulation of the lipid secondary messenger ceramide

TL;DR: It is proposed that disturbances of the endosomal/lysosomal system, in addition to the activation of the sphingomyelinase hydrolysis cycle, play essential roles in the course of post-mitotic neuronal aging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a distinct membrane bound dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase inactivating enkephalin in brain.
Myron Benuck,Neville Marks +1 more
TL;DR: Present data indicate that more than one enzyme is present in brain membrane fractions acting as dipeptidyl carboxypeptidases inactivating enkephalin; these data suggest multiple roles for such enzymes in the regulation of peptide metabolism.
