Introduction
Insulin-Degrading Enzyme (IDE) is a zinc metallopeptidase which degrades intracellular insulin, and thus terminates insulins activity, as well as playing a part in intercellular peptide signaling by degrading various peptides such as amylin, bradykinin, and kallidin. The preferential affinity of the IDE enzyme for insulin results in insulin-mediated inhibition of the degradation of additional peptides such as beta-amyloid. Deficiencies in IDE protein's function are linked with Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus nevertheless mutations in the IDE gene have not been demonstrated to be causative for these diseases. Insulin-Degrading Enzyme localizes mainly to the cytoplasm however in some cell types it localizes to the extracellular space, cell membrane, peroxisome, and mitochondrion. In addition, IDE degrades amyloid formed by APP and IAPP. Furthermore, IDE plays a part in the degradation and clearance of naturally secreted amyloid beta-protein by neurons and microglia.
