Function
Monooxygenase that catalyzes an essential reaction in C-terminal alpha-amidation of peptides. Produces an unstable peptidyl(2-hydroxyglycine) intermediate. C-terminal amidation of peptides is required for normal developmental transitions and for biosynthesis of secretory peptides throughout the life.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in the central nervous system (CNS) in a small number of CNS neurons (approximately a few hundred). Expression is present both in cell bodies and within neuropil regions. It is strongly expressed in neuroendocrine neurons (at protein level)
