Expression and immunolocalisation of neutral endopeptidase in prostate cancer.
BACKGROUND: Neutral Endopeptidase (NEP) is a cell surface enzyme that cleaves and inactivates neuropeptides. When present on androgen-dependent prostate cancer (PC) cells, NEP inactivates growth stimulatory neuropeptides. After androgen ablation NEP expression decreases and neuropeptides can enhanc...
