Advance in porcine aminopeptidase in PEDV infection

Recently, the variation and isolation of porcine epidemic diarrhea Virus (PEDV) has been a focus of industry research. Whether porcine aminopeptidase (pAPN) is a functional receptor of PEDV infection is still controversial. Therefore, this article aims to review the latest progress on pAPN as a receptor of PEDV and its role during infection, to clarify whether pAPN is a functional receptor and to provide a reference for isolation and subsequent study of PEDV.
