Premenstrual Disappearance of Aminopeptidase A in Endometrial Stromal Cells around Endometrial Spiral Arteries/Arterioles during the Decidual Change
·doi:10.1210/jcem.87.5.8465

Aminopeptidase A (APA, BP-1) is a membrane-bound zinc metallopeptidase that converts angiotensin II (AngII) into AngIII by selectively hydrolyzing the N-terminal aspartyl residue. AngII has been proposed as a candidate for the initial vasoc…
