Carboxypeptidases A

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: Carboxypeptidases that are primarily found the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM that catalyze the release of C-terminal amino acids. Carboxypeptidases A have little or no activity for hydrolysis of C-terminal ASPARTIC ACID; GLUTAMIC ACID; ARGININE; LYSINE; or PROLINE. This enzyme requires ZINC as a cofactor and was formerly listed as EC 3.4.2.1 and EC 3.4.12.2.      Other names Procarboxypeptidase A2; Procarboxypeptidase A1; Procarboxypeptidase A; PCPA2 Enzyme; PCPA1 Enzyme; Carboxypeptidase A5; Carboxypeptidase A2; Carboxypeptidase A1; Carboxypeptidase A
