Background: Aminopeptidase PILS/ARTS1
The name of Aminopetidase PILS (Puromycin-Insensitive Leucyl-Specific) describes the two basic properties of this zinc metalloprotease in vitro (1). Also known as ALAP (Adipocyte-derived Leucin AminoPeptidase), type 1 tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) shedding aminopeptidase regulator and ER aminopeptidase ERAP1 or ERAAP, it is encoded by the ARTS1 gene (2-4). Aminopeptidase PILS has been identified to regulate antigen presentation, promote TNFR1 ectodomain shedding and associate with hypertension (2-5).
