Reproduction and maternal behavior in insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) knockout mice

During human pregnancy, a circulating form of insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP EC 3.4.11.3), often termed oxytocinase or placental leucine aminopeptidase (PLAP), is present in plasma. It is proposed that circulating IRAP plays an important role in regulating the circulating levels of oxytocin...
