Neutral endopeptidase (CD10) is abundantly expressed in the epididymis and localized to a distinct population of epithelial cells - Its relevance for CNP degradation

Data indicate an important, previously neglected, role of NEP for regulation of luminal factors in the epididymis and suggest a novel role for CNP/GC-B in the epididymal epithelium, presumably in context of local water balance.
