Among the five peptidase known to be located in the microvillus membrane of the renal proximal tubule are two enzymes with endopeptidase activity. Neutral endopeptidase, a zinc-dependent enzyme, has a broad specificity comparable to that of thermolysin, and like the latter may be specifically inhibited by phosphoramidon. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV, a serine enzyme, is very sensitive to inhibition by diisopropyl phosphorofluoridate. It is also capable of endopeptidase activity, hydrolysing bonds involving the carboxyl group of proline.
