The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It specifically inhibits leucyl aminopeptidase, alanyl aminopeptidase, bacterial leucyl aminopeptidase, leucyl/cystinyl aminopeptidase, and, to a lesser extent, glutamyl aminopeptidase, as well as other aminopeptidases.
- It does not inhibit arginyl aminopeptidase.
- Amastatin has been found to potentiate the central nervous system effects of oxytocin and vasopressin in vivo.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Amastatin article was read about 1,500 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 48 and blocks with 21: each hit it takes is cut by 8 %.
